Het Geheim ("The Secret") is a Dutch title that appears to have been given to many plays, of which a number have been performed in South Africa. They are often translations from the French, Italian, German or English.

See the entries on Le Secret, Das Geheimnis, The Secret, and so on. There is at times some confusion about exact text being used for a production, for the works seem to be somewhat interwoven.
