This play, by [[W. G. Wills]], was produced at the Leeds Amphitheatre in 1875 and 1876. The parts of Jane Shore and her husband were played by [[Wilson Barrett]] and his wife Caroline Heath, who is seen in this painting. The artist's daughter Enid wrote to her brother-in-law in a letter from about 1917 that the room set from the play had been re-created in the Barretts' own home in Beech Grove, [[Leeds]].<ref name=":10"/>|center|660x660px]]

*She is a significant character in ''[[The True Tragedy of Richard III]]'', an anonymous play written shortly before [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Richard III (play)|Richard III]]''. In the play, she is reduced to destitution on the streets, ignored by both former lovers and people she had helped after Richard frightens citizens with severe punishments if she is supported in any way.
*"Mistress Shore" is frequently mentioned in Shakespeare's play, ''[[Richard III (play)|Richard III]]''. (She actually appears in [[Laurence Olivier]]'s 1955 film version, played by [[Pamela Brown (actress)|Pamela Brown]]—she has only one line: "Good morrow, my Lord", which is interpolated into the film. The film shows her as attending to Edward IV, but afterwards having a passionate affair with Lord Hastings.) Edward IV, Thomas Grey, and Lord Hastings are all characters in the play.
*The story of Jane Shore's wooing by Edward IV, her influence in court, and her tragic death in the arms of Matthew Shore is the main plot in a play by [[Thomas Heywood]], ''[[Edward IV (play)|Edward IV]]'' (printed 1600). The play shows her struggling with the morality of accepting the king's offers, using her influence to grant pardons to those wrongfully punished, and expressing regret for her relationship with Edward. In this version, her first marriage is never annulled, but the two are reconciled right before dying and being buried together in "Shores Ditch, as in the memory of them". This is supposed to be the origin of the name [[Shoreditch]].
*''[[The Tragedy of Jane Shore]]'' is a 1714 play by [[Nicholas Rowe (dramatist)|Nicholas Rowe]]. Rowe portrays her as a kind woman who encourages her lover Hastings to oppose Richard's usurpation of power. In revenge Richard forces her to do penance and to become an outcast. As in Heywood's version, her husband seeks her out and they are reconciled before she dies.<ref name="ODNB"/>
*A performance of ''Jane Shore'' was given on Saturday 30 July 1796 at a theatre in [[Sydney]]. The pamphlet for the play was printed by a convict in the settlement, George Hughes, who was the operator of [[Australia]]'s first printing press. The pamphlet for the play is the earliest-surviving document printed in Australia. It was presented as a gift to Australia by the Canadian Government and is held at the [[National Library of Australia]] in the National Treasures collection in [[Canberra]].<ref name="canb">{{cite web |title= Digital Collection, Books and Serials – Jane Shore |publisher= National Library of Australia |url= http://nla.gov.au/nla.aus-vn4200235 |access-date=28 June 2008}}</ref>
