There are two French plays by this name:

Une Chambre pour Deux by Prieur and Letorzec (1839)

The original text

Written by Edmond-Frédéric Prieur, (??-1849)[1] and Aristide Letorzec (pen name Lajariette, 1808–1848)[2], it is a skit about two men who occupy the same room without being aware of each other's existence, having been tricked by their landlady.

There are a few indirect references to a 19th century play of this name, but it is not listed among the works of either of the authors nor has a copy of a text or programme for a performance been found so far. It may however be an earlier or alternative title for a vaudeville in 1 act called Allons à la Chaumière, written by the same authors and opening in Paris at the Théâtre Porte Saint-Martin on 1st of December, 1839 and published in that year. This text is available.

Translations and adaptations

Translated and adapted into English as The Double-Bedded Room by J.M. Morton (1811-1891)[3]

The English play was in its turn re-translated into French by Charles Varin and Charles Lefèvre and called Une Chambre à Deux Lits (1846).

There are some critics who see the original French play as a source for both Morton's version of it as well as his most famous play, Box and Cox (1847)
