De Moetwillige Jongen ("The willfull youth") is a Dutch one act play, possibly by Willem (or Guilliam) Ogier (1618–1689)[1].

Original text

It would seem this may have been a version of the one-act comic-morality De Gramschap, of Moetwillige Boots-gesel, by Ogier , first performed by the Violieren in Amsterdam on 18 October 1645 as De Gramschap ("Anger"), and later also known by this longer title. Published in the collection De seven hooft-sonden ("The seven deadly sins") in 1682.

F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p.79), makes what appears an appealing, but rather far-fetched suggestion that this one-act play might have been a translation and adaptation of (an early version of?) Der Wirrwarr, oder der Muthwillige (1803), which is in fact a farce in 5 acts by August von Kotzebue. Translated and adapted into Dutch by Jacob Sammmers and published by Jac. Lescailje, 1672 (Wrongly cited as Der Muthwillige, oder Der Wirrwarr by Bosman)
