Arthur Benham
Born1871 or 1872
Died (aged 23)
Brighton, England

Arthur Benham (c. 1872 – 8 September 1895) was an English playwright.

He was born into a Jewish family, the son of Henry Benham. His sister was the actress Estelle Burney, who collaborated in his plays,[1] and another sibling, Charles Benham, wrote the novel The Fourth Napoleon (1897).[2]

Benham was a dramatist of considerable promise, and was the author of The County and The Awakening—the latter produced for a short run at the Garrick Theatre,[3] and the former at Terry's Theatre.[4] He was also a member of the Maccabæans.[2]

He died of tuberculosis at the age of twenty-three,[5] leaving behind several unfinished works.[6]
