and playwright, active in Australia.[1]

Dampier was born in Horsham, Sussex, England, the son of John Dampier, builder, and his wife Mary, née Daly.[1] Dampier had a stage career in Manchester before moving to Melbourne, Australia in 1873.[1] Dampier soon formed his own company and often produced plays with an Australian theme. Dampier staged five plays by Francis Rawdon Chesney Hopkins from 1876-82. Dampier adapted For the Term of His Natural Life (1886), Robbery Under Arms (1890) and The Miner's Right (1891).[1]

The two roles Dampier was most associated with in his lifetime was Jean Valjean in Valjean, an adaptation of Les Misérables, and Captain Starlight from Robbery Under Arms.[2]

Dampier died in Paddington, Sydney on 24 May 1908.
