| − | 1809: Performed in the original French in Cape Town on 29 August, 1809 by local amateurs led by [[J. Riaux]]. Followed by something listed as a "[[Cantasmagorie]]" (possibly a misprint for "[[La Fantasmagorie]]" suggests Bosman) and a ballet by the pupils of Riaux.

| − | 1819: Performed on 7 August, 1819 in [[Dutch]], as the afterpiece to ''[[De Speler]]'' (Iffland), by the local amateur group [[Men Doet Wat Men Kan]], under the title ''[[De Belagchelyke Juffers]]''. According to [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1928, p.135) the translation/adaptation was by "Bouberg Wilson" (i.e. S.J. Bouberg Wilson), though this seems highly unlikely, the Bouberg Wilson version was only published in 1889. The most likely text used is that of J.S. van Esveldt Holtrop (1805), given his specific spelling of the title and the fact that his translations of German and French plays were often used in the Cape.
