Janus Tulp is a Dutch comedy by Justus van Maurik ()[].


The original text

Inspired by Molière's Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Van Maurik created "Janus Tulp" as a type of "Hollandse burgeredelman" (lit "citizen aristocrat"), a barber who had become rich.

The name "Janus Tulp" has since become a metaphor in the Netherlands.
