The French drama Don César de Bazan was written by Philippe M. Dumanoir and Adolphe d' Ennery [Dennery]. It was adapted by several English dramatists including Gilbert Abbott a'Beckett, Thomas Archer, C. Z. Barnett and Dion Boucicault. Productions of a'Beckett's adaptation were produced in the Australian colonies in the 1840s. Authorship of the 1860s Australian productions has not yet been verified by AustLit.

Don César de Bazan is included in AustLit because it was produced in Australian theatres during the colonial era.
