1953: 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 in to Afrikaans as Meneer Sleeman Kom (most probably from the English) by Leonora Nel. This version first produced by PACT , as a double bill with Die Skuld van Oedipus, in 1963, in the Pretoria National Theatre. Directed Leonora Nel, with Kita Redelinghuijs, Leonora Nel, Vicki Vosloo/Phyllis Punt, Ernst Eloff and Jannie Gildenhuys.
