("The Negroes") A comedy in one act and in prose by Louis-Edme Billardon de Sauvigny Performed "A L'Occasion De La Paix" ("Peace of Paris") in 1783. Published by the author, 1783.

Not to be confused with 'De Negers' ("The Negroes") by Von Kotzebue (1796)


Performances in South Africa

1804: There is a slight possibility that this may have been the play performed in the original French under the title Les trois Africaines by Het Fransche Liefhebbery Geselschap ("The French Amateur Company"), on 23 June 1804 (with Le Médecin Malgré Lui). The source for the 1804 production, F.C.L. Bosman (1928, p.90), unfortunately provides no details about the author or of the play's contents.

See Les trois Africaines.
