Thomas Higgie adapted it into a three-act play in 1854. Charles Selby and Charles Melville did the same in 1875.[8] The latter was produced at the English Opera House.[9]
In 1915 Thomas Bentley directed Barnaby Rudge, "the biggest-budget British film of its day", but it is now lost.[10]
The BBC made a 13 episode TV series in 1960.[11]
Barnaby Rudge was re-invented as a stage play, The Locksmith of London, by Eileen Norris. It was staged in 2012 at the Kings Theatre, Southsea by Alchemy Theatre, where the Dickens Fellowship attended a performance during their annual conference.[12]
BBC Radio 4 chose it for their Classic Serial in 2014, and cast an actor with Down's Syndrome, Daniel Laurie, in the title role.[13]
