−	''[[Trente Ans, ou La Vie d'un Joueur]]'' ("thirty years, or the life of gambler") is a melodrama by Victor Ducange (1783-1833)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Henri_Joseph_Brahain_Ducange] and Dinaux (1795-1859)[https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosper_Goubaux].	+	#REDIRECT[[Trente Ans, ou La Vie d'un Joueur]]
−
−	~~== The original text ==~~
−
−	Originally written by Jacques Félix Beudin[http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_F%C3%A9lix_Beudin] and Prosper Goubaux (1795-1859)[https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosper_Goubaux], using the pseudonym "Dinaux", and then reworked by Victor Ducange (1783-1833)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Henri_Joseph_Brahain_Ducange]. Described as a "Mélodrame en trois journées" ("A melodrama in three days").
−
−	It was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre de la Porte-Saint-Martin, on 19 June 1827,with Frédérick Lemaître in the lead. Music by Alexandre Piccini, entertainment ("''divertissement''") by Corally and décor by Lefebvre.
−
−	Published in Paris by Barba in 1827, credited to "MM Victor Ducange et Dinaux" only, with no mention of the original co-author, Jacques Félix Beudin. The play became quite a success and was republished and performed many times, right into the 20th century. A film was made of it in 1975.
−
−	~~==Translations and adaptations==~~
−
−	Translated into English as ''[[The Gambler's Fate, or A Lapse of Twenty Years]]'' ) and adapted as a drama in two acts by Charles Thompson. (Also known simply as ''[[The Gambler's Fate]]''.) The English translation was hugely popular during the mid 18th century in London. First published in 1827(?) by J. Cumberland.
−
−	Translated into [[Dutch]] as ''[[Dertig Jaren, of Het Leven van een Dobbelaar]]''. Apparently, according to documents in the [[Dutch]] archival collection "Stukken betreffende leden van de families Vitringa en Van Delden"[http://www.archieven.nl/nl/zoeken?mivast=0&mizig=210&miadt=45&miaet=1&micode=1333&minr=922381&miview=inv2], it was copied from the first performance by A.J. van Delden Stevenz and his text is subtitled "Melodrama in drie tijdperken".
−
−	However the first published [[Dutch]] translation, as ''[[Dertig Jaren, of Het Leven van een Dobbelaar]]'', is credited to Bernard Anthoine Fallée (1773-1847)[http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Anthoine_Fall%C3%A9e], subtitled a "tooneelspel, dat in drie dagen afspeelt" ("a play which takes place in three days") and published in Amsterdam by J.C. van Kesteren, 1828.
−
−	~~== Performance history in South Africa ==~~
−
−	According to [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1928, p 213), its first production in Cape Town on 5 June by [[H. Booth]] and [[All the World's a Stage]] led to a great deal of critique for the presentation and the text, which the critic of the ''[[Commercial Advertiser]]'' said was "a clumsy adaptation from the German". In response "A British Amateur", writing in the ''[[De Zuid-Afrikaan]]'', stated (correctly) that it was in fact an "almost literal translation" of the French play ''[[La Vie d'un Joueur]]''. However, despite the criticism, it seems to have been to everyone's taste.
−

−
−	1835: Performed in English as ''[[The Gambler's Fate, or A Lapse of Twenty Years]]'' by the [[Private Amateur Company]] on 25 May, with a play named as ''[[Mr Thompson, or Which is He?]]'' (Anon) as afterpiece. The performance was a benefit for [[Mr Whiley]].
