The Double-Bedded Room is a play by J.M. Morton ()[]
A skit about two men who occupy the same room without being aware of each other's existence, having been tricked by their landlady Mrs Bouncer, the play is said to have been derived from E. F. Prieur and A. Letorzec's Une Chambre pour Deux (1839). The English play was in its turn re-translated into French by Charles Varin and Charles Lefèvre and called Une Chambre à Deux Lits (1846).
There are critics who see the play as a forerunner and source for Morton's most famous play, Box and Cox.
