Roman à Clef
''Roman à clef'' (, anglicised as ), French for ''novel with a key'', is a novel about real-life events that is overlaid with a façade of fiction. The fictitious names in the novel represent real people, and the "key" is the relationship between the nonfiction and the fiction. This metaphorical key may be produced separately—typically as an explicit guide to the text by the author—or implied, through the use of epigraphs or other literary techniques. Madeleine de Scudéry created the ''roman à clef'' in the 17th century to provide a forum for her thinly veiled fiction featuring political and public figures. The reasons an author might choose the ''roman à clef'' format include satire; writing about controversial topics and/or reporting inside information on scandals without giving rise to charges of libel; the opportunity to turn the tale the way the author would like it to have gone; the opportunity to portray personal, autobiographical experiences without having ...

Robbery Under Arms (play)
''Robbery Under Arms'' is a 1890 play by Alfred Dampier and Garnet Walch based on the Robbery Under Arms, novel of the same name by Rolf Boldrewood. History In 1889 Dampier secured the exclusive rights to prepare a dramatization of the Boldrewood novel. This was not an easy task, as the novel is mostly first person descriptive, with very little dialogue, and great sections had to be omitted, notably the opening chapter, in which "Captain Starlight" takes 2000 head of stolen cattle overland from country New South Wales to Adelaide. The play premiered on March 1, 1890, following Walch's dramatization of Victor Hugo's ''Count of Monte Cristo''. Opening night The play was staged on 1 March 1890 at the Alexandra Theatre, Melbourne, which Dampier had on a long lease. T. A. Browne and family were guests of honour in a stage box.

Bijou Theatre, Melbourne
The Victorian Academy of Music was a theatre in Bourke Street, Melbourne, built for Samuel Aarons in 1876. It was also advertised as the Bijou Theatre, as if to distinguish it from the larger Theatre Royal and Opera House, then in 1880 the "Academy" title was dropped. In June 1884 it was purchased for £47,000 by John Alfred Wilson (c. 1832 – 23 September 1915), owner of nearby Academy of Music (later Palace) Hotel and Gaiety Theatre, all on Bourke Street. The first lessee was G. B. W. Lewis, who staged concerts and plays on alternate evenings. Lewis was followed in 1885 by the Majeronis, who had often played in that theatre. Business was slow however, and when Majeroni fell behind in the rent, Wilson transferred the lease to Brough and Boucicault. The theatre was destroyed by fire on Easter Monday, 1889. A new, larger Bijou Theatre was built on the site, opening in 1890. The new theatre seated around 2,000 across three levels. The Bijou was the scene of Louis De Rougeme ...
