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].

According to Bernt Lindfors (2011: pp. 311-312), this play should not be confused with The Bengal Tiger by Charles Dance (Leipzig: Julius Wunder, 1838), a one-act farce about a rich stingy uncle from India.


First performed in Paris, at the Théâtre de la Montansier on 12 September, 1849. Published in Paris by Beck, 1849 and in Brussels by Lelong, 1849.


Translated into Dutch as De Bengaalse Tijger ("The Bengal tiger") by

According to Lindfors (2011:p. 222), it was translated into German as Der Falsche Aldridge by W. Friedrich (performed in Mainz in 1853) and then satirized as Ein Weisser Othello, a comedy in one act, performed at Amsterdam's Neues Hochdeutsches Theater,and two days later in Dutch as Een Blanke Othelloat the Rotterdamsche Schouburg.
