Wooll, a barrister of the Inner Temple and Recorder of Carlisle, wrote the play under the pseudonym "Ward Dorane".
Wooll wrote a novelization in 1935, and the play was adapted as a movie in 1959.
Plot
Sir Mark Loddon, a war hero and Member of Parliament, is suing a newspaper for libel. The paper claims that he is an impostor, a fellow soldier and friend of Loddon from the war who happened to resemble the original Loddon. The play is set in the courtroom as the trial for the lawsuit takes place. Loddon takes the stand as the first witness. He recounts being taken prisoner during the war, then escaping a few years later. After the war he married his pre-war fiancee, Enid, and was elected to the House of Commons. However, he says he has no recollection of events from before he was taken prisoner, a condition he attributes to shell shock. On cross-examination, defense lawyer Thomas Foxley accuses Loddon of being Frank Wenley, a soldier who escaped with Loddon and had strikingly similar features. Another soldier from the escape, Patrick Buckenham, testifies that Loddon and Wenley looked so much alike that they could have been twins. He believes Wenley killed the real Loddon. Loddon's attorney elicits testimony that Buckenham is being paid a stipend by the newspaper and had previously attempted to blackmail Loddon.
Under common law, to constitute defamation, a claim must generally be false and have been made to someone other than the person defamed. Some common law jurisdictions also distinguish between spoken defamation, called slander, and defamation in other media such as printed words or images, called libel.
False light laws protect against statements which are not technically false but misleading.
Libel is a verse genre primarily of the Renaissance, descended from the tradition of invective in classical Greek and Roman poetry. Libel is usually expressly political, and balder and coarser than satire. Libels were generally not published but circulated among friends and political partisans in manuscript.
Classical roots
In ancient Greece, invective verse generally existed in the form of epigrams written, almost always anonymously, against public figures. In Latin, the genre grew in prestige and boldness, as major authors including Juvenal and Catullus wrote extended invectives without the cushion of anonymity. One of Catullus's fiercer examples, expunged from most post-classical collections of his work until the 20th century, is Catullus 16, written against two critics:
In 17th-century manuscript culture, in which verses were copied out and distributed among (usually aristocratic) social groups, libel achieved a new standing. At the same time, the growing power of Parliament allowed the genre a new currency, since prominent members of Parliament could be attacked with greater freedom than could royalty. Libels frequently substituted humor and scatological inventiveness for poetic quality, as in the case of this well-known and much-circulated example, "The Censure of the Parliament Fart," which was in response to an audible emission by MP Henry Ludlow in 1607:
Libel and slander are both types of defamation -- falsely conveying a very negative impression of another person or business. For example, if Lindsay says Joe is a convicted criminal, or is dishonest, or deals in stolen and defective merchandise, or spreads syphilis, that certainly could create a negative impression about Joe.

The video starts with clear definitions of LIBEL and SLANDER. Then 4 illustrated sentence examples prove the point. By looking at the pictures and then listening to and reading the sentence examples, a deep impression is made on the brain to aid memory.
After watching this video you will never confuse 'libel' and 'slander' or use the words incorrectly.
Here is a transcript of the video: What is the Difference Between LIBEL and SLANDER?
Slide 2:
Libel and slander both refer to statements which defame or damage the reputation of an entity or person.
The difference is:
Libel is WRITTEN
Slander is SPOKEN
Slide 3:
Definition of libel: Publishing or writing a false statement about someone that can negatively affect their reputation. Libel can also include publishing a false or untrue image, in print or on a web site.
Slide 4:
Definition of slander: Making a false spoken statement about someone that gives a bad impression about them; verbally defaming someone using information that is known to be misleading or false.
Slide 5:
In 1989 The Blue Angel Restaurant in Sydney, Australia, was awarded $100,000 after taking a food critic for The Sydney Morning Herald to court for libel.
Slide 6:
In 1895 Oscar Wilde prosecuted the Marquess of Queensberry for libel. According to Wilde, the Marquess accused him of "posing as a sodomite" in writing. The resulting trial revealed evidence which led to Wilde's own arrest on the grounds of gross indecency with men.
Slide 7:
Notice in both examples, defamatory statements were put in writing.
1. Leo Schofield, food critic for the Sydney Morning Herald, wrote an article entitled "High drama where lobsters have no privacy" which appeared in The Herald of May 29, 1984.
2. According to Oscar Wilde, the Marquess had written a card which he left at his London residence in which he accused him of "posing as a sodomite."
Slide 8:
After withdrawing a controversial advert for Golf cars, representatives of Volkswagen issued the following statement:
"We at Volkswagen are aware of the historical origins and the guilt of our company during the Nazi regime. That is precisely why we resolutely oppose all forms of hatred, slander/propaganda and discrimination." – Reuters news May 20, 2020
Slide 9:
Commenting on the fiercely competitive game console market, one game designer said: "Nintendo was slandered as a kid's platform, not a leading light."
Slide 10:
The last two examples involving Volkswagen and Nintendo refer to things that are spoken about.
However, many people use the words slander and libel interchangeably as if there is no difference.
Nevertheless, if you wish to use good English and make your meaning clear, then remember:
• LIBEL is written
• SLANDER is spoken

Nevertheless, if you wish to use good English and make your meaning clear, then remember:
• LIBEL is written
• SLANDER is spoken

Wooll, a barrister of the Inner Temple and Recorder of Carlisle, wrote the play under the pseudonym "Ward Dorane".
Wooll wrote a novelization in 1935, and the play was adapted as a movie in 1959.
Plot
Sir Mark Loddon, a war hero and Member of Parliament, is suing a newspaper for libel. The paper claims that he is an impostor, a fellow soldier and friend of Loddon from the war who happened to resemble the original Loddon. The play is set in the courtroom as the trial for the lawsuit takes place. Loddon takes the stand as the first witness. He recounts being taken prisoner during the war, then escaping a few years later. After the war he married his pre-war fiancee, Enid, and was elected to the House of Commons. However, he says he has no recollection of events from before he was taken prisoner, a condition he attributes to shell shock. On cross-examination, defense lawyer Thomas Foxley accuses Loddon of being Frank Wenley, a soldier who escaped with Loddon and had strikingly similar features. Another soldier from the escape, Patrick Buckenham, testifies that Loddon and Wenley looked so much alike that they could have been twins. He believes Wenley killed the real Loddon. Loddon's attorney elicits testimony that Buckenham is being paid a stipend by the newspaper and had previously attempted to blackmail Loddon.
