L'homme à Trois Visages, ou Le Proscrit ("The man in three guises, or the exile") is three act play by Pixérécourt ()[1].
Contents
The original text
De Pixérécourt's play is a French adaptation of Abällino, der Grosse Bandit ("Abällino the Great Bandit"), a 5-act German tragedy by Heinrich Zschokke (1771 - 1848)[2], based on his novel of the same name.
Translations and adaptations
The French text was translated into Dutch as De Man in Drie Gedaanten, of De Balling ("The man with three faces, or the exile"),
NOTE: There is also a satirical work entitled "De Man in Vier Gedaanten, of Musicus, Acteur, Gaskonjer en Taalmeester" ("The man in three guises, or musician, actor, Gascon and language teacher") by Joseph Suasso de Lima, listed in an advert in the South African Chronicle of 15 June 1825 as one of a series to be published by subscription. Entirely unrelated to this work, though the title was obviously chosen in imitation of this play's title.
Performance history in South Africa
1831: Performed in Dutch as De Man in Drie Gedaanten, of De Balling by Tot Nut en Vermaak in the African Theatre, Cape Town on 21 August, with Het Glas Water (Von Guttenberg) as afterpiece.
