Jorgen Jorgenson (1780–1841) was a Danish-born adventurer who briefly ruled Iceland as a self-appointed administrator in 1809, earning him the nickname 'the Convict King'. Transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1826, he worked there as an explorer, constable — including in parties sent against Tasmanian Aboriginal people — and newspaper editor, before receiving a full pardon in 1835.

The Convict Theatres of Early Australia 1788-1840 by Robert Jordan |HCDJ|
The first theatrical performance in Australia — a 1788 convict staging of George Farquhar's play The Recruiting Officer at Sydney Cove, to mark King George III's birthday — later inspired Thomas Keneally's novel The Playmaker and Timberlake Wertenbaker's play Our Country's Good. Robert Jordan, Foundation spent years combing British and colonial newspapers, court records and logbooks to uncover the real story of Australia's first forty years of theatre — organised not by nostalgic soldiers and settlers, as long believed, but by convicts themselves.
