Moederloos (lit "motherless") is a Dutch play by Fanny Eden (1801-1849)

The original text

Translations and adaptations

Translated into Afrikaans, though the actual translator is uncertain, the sources mentioning three names at least (Jean Plaat-Stultjes, Ignatius Mocke and J.S. Marais). Probably the truth is that the Dutch text was initially translated by Marais for the 1926 publication, and then later performed by Plaat-Stultjes with a text adapted by himself and Mocke jointly, working in the same way they did on Stultje's later production of In die Kloue van Satan.

Published in Afrikaans as Moederloos by J.H. de Bussy in 1926.
