Hester die Maltrap ("Hester The Madcap") is an Afrikaans play by Gerrit Naude (fl. 1960s).

The original text

First performed in 1964 by Johan Fourie and his touring company under this name and billed as an Afrikaans play by Gerrit Naude (fl. 1960s).


In 1966 the Pieter Fourie Genootskap took a play called Ester die Maltrap ("Esther The Madcap") on tour, which seems to suggest that it was actually probably written by Pieter Fourie himself , since this was his practice while touring. However, it may have been an adaptation of the play used by Johan Fourie.

No text by either name has survived it seems.
