("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 moetwillige bootsgezel1 by J. Sammers, which Gorp claims is a blatant piece of plagiarism of G. Ogier's Gramschap.
Performance history in South Africa
17 July and 24 July 1802 performed, possibly in Dutch, in the African Theatre, Cape Town by Het Hoogduitsche Toneel-Gezelschap (also called the Liefhebbers van het Toneel en het Muziekgezelschap), along with Der Wildfang (Kotzebue).
8 April, 1826: performed in Dutch in Cape Town by the children's company Tot Oefening en Smaak, probably directed by Joseph Suasso de Lima.
