Translations and adaptations
Translated and adapted into English as The Double-Bedded Room by J.M. Morton (1811-1891)[3]
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 some critics who see the original French play as a source for both Morton's version of it as well as his most famous play, Box and Cox (1847)
