Flodoardo van Overschie, of Aballino, Junior is a "musical tragi-comedy" by Johannes Hendricus Gravé (??-1841)[1].

The original text

Written as a parody the 5-act German tragedy Abällino der Grosse Bandit ("Abällino the Great Bandit") by Heinrich Zschokke[2] (1771 - 1848).

Gravé's parody version was first published in Den Haag by H.S. de Groot, 1811.

Adaptations and translations

According to Bosman, 1928, a play called Aballino Junior, of De Kleine Bandiet was written by Joseph Suasso de Lima, Called a "farcical tragedy" it was based on the 5-act tragedy Aballino, De Groote Bandiet by Heinrich Zschokke, and was written in response to Clasius by his arch-rival C.E. Boniface, which had been an outright attack on him. It was never published.

However, it is also likely that this was simply a localized version of Gravé's Flodoardo van Overschie, of Aballino, Junior.

The title Flodoardo van Overschie, of De Kleine Bandiet is also found in South Africa.
