Het Beleg en het Nemen van Troyen ("The siege and the taking of Troy") is a ballet pantomime in three acts by Mr C.B. (Charles Etienne Boniface, 1787 – 1853) and probably the first original pantomime shown in South Africa.

The text is unpublished, and was presumably written the year of production (1813).

1813: First produced by the Afrikaansche Liefhebbery Gezelschap (using the motto Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense) in the African Theatre on Saturday 11 September, and repeated on Saturday 9 October, for the governor and his wife. "Overseen" (produced) by Mr Lemming (director of music) and Mr Bertrand (director of dance).

F.C.L. Bosman, 1928. Drama en Toneel in Suid-Afrika, Deel I: 1652-1855. Pretoria: J.H. de Bussy. [1]: pp. 119, 124, 137, 145, 171.
