''[[Ou Daniël]]'' is an [[Afrikaans]] melodrama by [[Harm Oost]].

== The text ==

A play about the old, poverty stricken and ill [[Boer]] and an artful conman named "Billy Black".

Written in 1905-6, first performed as part of its first production by the [[Afrikaans-Hollandse Toneelvereniging]] in the [[Opera House]], Pretoria 9 March, 1906 according to Binge (though Du Toit says 7 March 1907). The leads were played by [[M. Ribbens]] and [[Harm Oost]], directed by [[Mrs Engel-Wilson]]. It soon became a firm favourite in that society’s repertory, and remained so until 1910. It was described by [[Gustav Preller]] as an important work, heralding the budding of Afrikaner cultural self-consciousness. First published by ** in 19*.
