Wie is Leopold? ("Who is Leopold?") is an Afrikaans one-act play by Temple Hauptfleisch (1945-).

The original text

Set in a fictional European country the 18th century, it tells of a man condemned to die, but who is tjen given a reprieve for a day, to act as stand-in for the king, whom he resembles, during a potential assassination attempt.

Winner of the ATKV Afrikaans one act play competition in 1971, the text was published as a playtext by DALRO in 1974 and also included in the play collection Die Kleiner Kosmos in the same year (Breytenbach and Hauptfleisch, 1974).

Translations and adaptations

The play was quite often produced by schools in the 1970, since the collection in which appeared was a set work for Afrikaans language studies at high schools in various provinces in the period.

197*: A semi-professional performance of the play was done in Pretoria by Dinkteater, directed by Danie Burger.
