Die Vooraand van die Trek ("the evening before the Trek") is a one act documentary drama by J.R.L. van Bruggen (1895-1948).
The original text
A play about Piet Retief and the beginnings of the Great Trek. According to Dekker (1958:342, cited by Keuris, 2013) the depiction of Retief apparently evolved into a play that would make up part of Bakens: Gedramatiseerde mylpale uit die Groot Trek, the collection of Afrikaans one-act documentary plays by Van Bruggen commemorating the Great Trek of 1838. (Published in Johannesburg in 1938/9 by A.P.B.).
Performances
1938: Performed in the town of Weenen on Tuesday 13 Desember at 7:45 pm. by the Dramatiese Vereniging van Weenen as part of their contribution to the celebrations.
