Gustave en Dalécarlie, ou Les Mineurs Suédois ("Gustave in Dalécarlie (Dalarna), or The Swedish Miners") is a French play by Jean Henri Ferdinand Lamartelière[1] (1761 - 1830).

Original French text

Styled an "anecdote historique en cinq actes, en prose", it was first produced in Paris, and published there by Barba in 1803.

Translations and adaptations

Translated into Dutch as Gustavus, of De Zweedsche Mijnwerkers ("Gustavus, or the Swedish miners") and subtitled: "Geschiedkundig tooneelspel in 5 bedrijven" (i.e. "an historic play in five acts"), it was published by Hendrik van Kesteren, Amsterdam in 1804.


Performance history in South Africa

1819: A copy of text of the Dutch version requested by the Cape Town amateur company Men Doet Wat Men Kan. No record of an actual production in this year though.
