Recapture is a 1930 drama in three acts by Preston Sturges, his third play to appear on Broadway.
The Broadway production was directed by Don Mullally and produced by A. H. Woods. It opened on January 29, 1930, at the Eltinge 42nd Street Theatre, and ran for 24 performances, closing in February of that year.
