A Swedish one-act play (English: Mr Sleeman is Coming), by Hjalmar Bergman. The tale of an orphaned young woman, urged by her aunts to marry a rich old man.
Translations and adaptations
1953: January (January 1997) writes that a full-length English play entitled Mr Sleeman is Coming by Denis Rhodes Granger was produced for the Worcester Dramatic Society in 1953, directed by Granger himself. This is most probably a mistake and the play used was the English translation of the Bergman one-act play.
1963: Translated into Afrikaans as Meneer Sleeman Kom (most probably from the English) by Leonora Nel.
Performance history in South Africa
