Vice Versa: A Lesson to Fathers is a play by Edward Rose that adapted the 1882 novel of the same name by Thomas Anstey Guthrie. The play debuted at the Gaiety Theatre, London on 9 April 1883. The story is a fantasy about a body swap between a father and son. Rose played the son in the debut production; Charles Hawtrey played the father.[1]

Guthrie authorized Rose's adaptation,[2] but later decided to write his own stage version of the story, which debuted in 1910.[3]
