== Performance history in South Africa ==

1971: The play was to have been presented in conjunction with ''[[Karol|Karel]]'' (Mrożek/) and ''[[Die Panne|Teenspoed]]'' (Durrenmatt/Smit) by [[Libertas Theatre Club]] under the direction of [[Marie van Heerden]], opening 29 October 1971. However, in the absence of any theatre programme or newspaper reports (especially as one would expect in the local Stellenbosch weekly paper ''[[Eikestadnuus]]''), it is assumed that the production never materialised.

1974: Première:  In May 1974 [[Libertas Teaterklub]] presented a [[Hennie Aucamp]] prose evening under the titel ''[[Vlugsout]]'', which included the première production of ''[[Wolf, Wolf hoe laat is dit?]]'', directed by [[Marie van Heerden]], with [[Joleen du Plessis]] (Matrone), [[Madeleine Heyns]] (Kytie), [[Margot Luyt]] (Lady), [[Annette Muller]] (Terblaans), [[Philip du Plessis]] (Kosta), [[Lally Viljoen]] (Truia), [[Brenda von Memerty]] (Die Kwartel), [[Maureen de Kock]] (Mathilda) and [[Leon van Nierop]] (Fons). 

1989: The [[Libertas Teaterklub]] again hosted a performance of the play, this time by [[CAPAB]]'s [[Afrikaans]] Drama Company, directed by [[Herman Pretorius]] and designed by [[Pieter Bredenkamp]]. Presented as a double bill with ''[[By Felix en Madame]]''.
