De Oudste Zoon ('the eldest son"), claimed to be by P. van de Velde (fl 1860s?).

The original text

This could be an early version of (or simply an alternative title for) the one-act French "drame-vaudeville" called Le Fils aîné de Veuve ("The eldest son of the widow")[1] by Edmond-Frédéric Prieur Lubize (published by Jouhaud, 1836). This was later translated into Dutch verse to become De Oudste Zoon des Huizes ("The eldest son of the house") by H.P. Dewald, a short play in 2 acts, written for the Rederijkers, published 1886.

Translations and adaptations

Performance history in South Africa

1868: A reading of it was done in the hall of the Germania Liedertafel, Cape Town by Aurora II on 6 August, and ascribed to Van de Velde, along with Jan Sukkel by Wijnstok.
