Die Verliefde Indringer ("The Amorous Intruder") is the title given to an Afrikaans translation from an unnamed (English, Italian or French) play by an unidentified author.

Provenance of the text

The theories seem to abound:

An advertising pamphlet from 1932 by Paul de Groot refers to it as an (unnamed) play by Dario Niccodemi. However, the Cape Argus refers to it as a translation of G.B. Shaw's Mrs Warren's Profession (though this seems highly unlikely). Much later a list of productions by Paul de Groot published in Filma (Kultuur) (January 1946), ascribes Die Verliefde Indringer to French playwright Paul Géraldy (1885-1983)[1].

According to Binge (citing Die Burger of 18 October and 3 November, 1932) the name was apparently changed to Die Oorwinnaar ("The Conqueror") for the national tour featuring De Groot and Yvonne de Morlay.

See also Mrs Warren's Profession and Die Oorwinnaar.

South African performances

1932: Produced in Afrikaans as Die Verliefde Indringer by Paul de Groot in Potchefstroom. Featured De Groot himself and Yvonne de Morlay.
