''[[Het Akelige Slot van Madacrestan, Vryheer van Gierenburg]]'' ("The awful lock of Madacrestan, Baron of the town of Avarice") is the title of a  [[Dutch]] "toverspel" (magic game or magic play), ostensibly by [[C.E. Boniface]]. 

Occasionally Boniface published an advert in the ''[[South African Chronicle]]'' or ''[[De Zuid-Afrikaan]]'' announcing a number of titles for poems, prose works, and plays he intended publishing. This is one announced in 1837. 

While these titles may simply have been meant as satirical commentary, [[F.C.L. Bosman]] argues that the texts may actually have been written,  or Boniface fully intended to write them, but that they were never published and/or performed. 

'''See [[Charles Etienne Boniface]].'''
