Contents
The original text
Performed at the Théâtre de la Cité, published by Barba 1803
Translations and adaptations
Translated into Dutch as Bianko, of De Onzichtbare Man (also Bianko, of De Onzigtbare Man).
Bosman, 1928[1] refers to it, rather tantalizingly, as Blanko, of De Onzigtbare Man - possibly because the author of the programme he was using had misread the title.
Performances in South Africa
1843: Performed in Cape Town on 6 October in Dutch by Door Yver Vruchtbaar, as Blanko, of De Onzigtbare Man with De Horoskooptrekker, of De Speculant in Effecten (Hanegraaff).
