== The original text ==
 
 
 
Originally given the title  '''''[[Gestern und Heute]]''''' (lit "Yesterday and today"), it was produced in Leipzig as ''[[Ritter Nérestan]]'' ("Knight Nérestan") in 1930, the former title being considered too insipid.
 
 
 
Performed in Berlin as '''''[[Krankheit der Liebe]]'' (lit. "Sickness of Love") in 1930(?), directed by [[Leontine Sagan]].
 
 
 
The text published in Marton-Verlag (Manuskriptdrucke, 154), as "''[[Gestern und Heute]]'' (''[[Ritter Nérestan]]'') Schauspiel in 3 Akten und 12 Bildern" in Budapest (by  G. Marton) and in Berlin , (by  G. Marton) , in 1930.
 
 
 
== Translations and adaptations==
 
 
 
Filmed in 1931, directed by [[Leontine Sagan]] as ''[[Mädchen in Uniform]]'', with Carl Froelich (1875-1953)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Froelich] as advisor and "senior artistic director".  In this case the lesbian theme was somewhat toned down, but the film nevertheless became a lesbian classic.
 
 
 
It was translated into English and performed as '''''[[Children in Uniform]]''''' for English audiences, opening at the Duchess Theatre in London in 1932, again directed by [[Leontine Sagan|Sagan]].
