−	The play was written to satirize the wave of English philanthropic puritanism which was sweeping the Cape at the time, a movement which was ultimately to lead to the founding of the [[Cape of Good Hope Temperance Society]] and the freeing of the slaves in 1834 and strong prohibitionist measures against alcohol abuse, and even the anti-theatrical movement. Many supporters of these causes, as well as their opponents, are satirized and appear as caricatures in the work - which contains 29 named characters, in various categories (including "Anti-temperantisten of Cognac drinkers", "Leerlingen Temperantisten" (each a caricature of a prominent personage in town), plus "Hottentotten onlangs tot de orde ingelyfd" and an unnamed number of "Drukkers, Letterzetters, Knechten, Settlers en Philipynen".
