Die Zerstreuten is a German one act comedy by August von Kotzebue.
Contents
The original text
Written in 1809, published in Neueste deutsche Schaubühne by Bolling, 1810.
Translations and adaptations
Translated into Dutch and published as De Verstrooiden by J.S. van Esveldt-Holtrop in 1809. Sometimes appears with the subtitle "of het door verstrooidheid bewerkt huwelijk".
Performance history in South Africa
1824: Performed in Dutch as De Verstrooiden by Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense in the African Theatre, Cape Town on 18 September June, with De Oost-Indien Varer (Arresto).
1829: Performed by an local amateur group (possibly using the motto Door Yver Vruchtbaar) in Stellenbosch on 25 April with the title wrongly given by the company as De Verstrooying, though internal evidence (e.g. the names of the characters) indicates that it was indeed De Verstrooiden, the Dutch version of Von Kotzebue's play. According to Bosman (1928: p.254) this was possibly one of the first signs of theatrical activity in Stellenbosch.
