("The willfull youth") Possibly an original Dutch play in three acts by an unknown author, though F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p.79) suggests that it might have been a translation and adaptation of (an early version of?) Der Wirrwarr, oder der Muthwillige (1803), a farce in 5 acts by August von Kotzebue. (Wrongly cited as Der Muthwillige, oder Der Wirrwarr by Bosman)
Another possibility may have been that the play may have been a version of the
De gramschap, of moetwillige boots-gesel, by Willem Ogier, translated and adapted into Dutch by Jacob Sammmers and published by Jac. Lescailje, 1672.
