Eopipore, ou La Resurrection ("Eopipore, or The resurrection") is a comedy in three acts by an anonymous author, possibly someone called Sire Barago.
The original text
Neither the play nor the author can be traced in any other source than F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p. 126), based on a newspaper advert from the Kaapsche Courant of 21 June, 1809. It was offered there as a work "translated and turned into verse by C.E. Boniface". He actually lists two plays (Eopipore, ou La Resurrection and Le Marriage de Biribi) on page 126, and it COULD also be read that this might have been part of the subtitle of a play entitled Eopipore, ou La Resurrection et Le Marriage de Biribi("Eopipore, or The resurrection" and the marriage of Biribi) - though no such play can be traced either.
He actually lists two plays (Eopipore, ou La Resurrection and Le Marriage de Biribi) on page 126, and it can be read that this might have been part of the subtitle of a play entitled Eopipore, ou La Resurrection et Le Marriage de Biribi("Eopipore, or The resurrection" and the marriage of Biribi).
In his corrections however, Bosman only has the title Eopipore, ou La Resurrection for the play by Barago done in 1823.
South African performances
1809: The play was apparently performed in French by the French Company led by Charles Mathurin Villet , on 1 July in the African Theatre, Cape Town, with Le Marriage de Biribi (The marriage of Biribi") (Barago) and Oromidas, ou Le Balêt de Balais (Anon).
