[[Pieter de Waal]](1875-1949) was a church minister and playwright.

Often credited as '''[[P. de Waal]]'''.

==Biography==

Brother of playwright [[J.H.H. de Waal]],

==Contribution to SA theatre, film, media and/or performance==

Besides his ecclesiastical and editorial duties, he wrote articles and pamphlets, as well as a number plays, mostly with a biblical theme and intended for spreading the gospel. The productions of the plays were very popular in his time, and the published plays include ''[[Omgeswaai]]'' ("Turned around"), ''[[Die Bekeerde Jodin]]'' ("Converted Jewess"), ''[[Delila]]'', ''[[Erns Eerlik]]'' ("Honest Ernest") , ''[[Mej. Skender]]'' ("Miss ") and ''[[Die Familie Brein]]'' ("The family brain").

He also wrote a farce called ''[['n Les oor di Tier]]'', similar to his brother's piece ''[['n Les]]'' for performance by the Christian youth society ([[CJV]]) of Cape Town's [[Nieuwe Kerk]]. His play was later combined with that of his brother, to create a longer play called ''[[Die Selfsugtige Skoolmeester]]'', (possibly translated and performed as ''[[The Selfish Schoolteacher]]'' by the [[Christelike Jongeliedenvereniging|CJV]] of Warmwater near Oudtshoorn in 1914).
