The Royal Quixote is a three-act drama "arranged by members of the Dramatic Club of the Regiment"


The original text

The play was based on a short tale by Susanna Moodie (1803-1885)[1], apparently written in 1824 and first published in the Literary Garland of 1838. John Thurston, editor of Mrs Moodie's short stories, calls it a "long and rather tedious story about King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden".


A three-act dramatised version of the tale was apparently undertaken and "arranged" by members of the Dramatic Club of the Regiment in 1862.
