The original text
Originally written in Cape Dutch sometime between August 1892 and May 1893, and titled Di Bedriegers, it is considered to be the first fully Afrikaans play, about four men faking illness to avoid being called up for military duty on the border.
The title was later adapted to more modern Afrikaans idiom as Die Bedriegers. (It would be spelled Die Bedrieërs in contemporary Afrikaans)
Rewritten the same year (to make provision for two women characters and allow women to perform), it was thereafter performed in various centres across the country.
The text was long unpublished, but was eventually included in the compendium called Di bedriegers : Magrita Prinslo, en ander Afrikaanse dramas en samesprake tot 1900 by F.C.L. Bosman. Voortrekkerpers, 1942.
Published in Die Storm en Ander Eenbedrywe, compiled by P.G. Nel, Perskor in 1972.
