Debora

Debora, a verse drama in Dutch in 3 acts about the biblical figure Debora. Written by Hubertus Elffers. He apparently finished the play in 1891 and (erroneously) claimed it to be the first Dutch drama written on South African soil. It was published by Juta in 1893. The play was well received by the editors of De Zuid-Afrikaan, who saw in it literary qualities lacking in other writing, though they did point out his error.
