Un Tigre du Bengale ("A tiger from Bengal") is a one act "comédie vaudeville" (or "comédie mêlée de chants") by Édouard Brisebarre (1815-1871)[1] and Marc-Michel (1812-1868)[2].

This play should not be confused with The Bengal Tiger by Charles Dance (1794-1863)[3], first performed in 1837.

Translations and adaptations

Translated into Dutch as De Bengaalsche Tijger ("The Bengal tiger") by an unknown translator.

Performance history in South Africa

1893: According to F.C.L. Bosman, a play called De Bengaalsche Tijger, credited to "Brissebarre and Michel", was performed as one of seven plays done in the President Theatre, Pretoria, by Onze Taal in this year, most probably directed by Dirk Balfoort.
