The original text
Probably written for the Rederijkers and published by J. Schuitemaker in Purmerende in 1868 and referred to as a "blijspel in één bedrijf".[1]
The only production in the Netherlands noted on the internet to date was in 1873, where Solide Menschen is described as a "Comieke chene" and performed by the society Onder Ons in Groenendijk, as part of their annual production.
