Een Huwelijks Advertensie, of De Geplaagde Schoolmeester

Een Huwelijks Advertensie, of De Geplaagde Schoolmeester ("A wedding advertisement, or the troubled school master") is comedy in one act by G. Broekhoff Gzn.

The original text

Though no text by this name can be found, it was probably written for the Rederijkers circa the 1870s-1880s, perhaps a local version of a dramatic sketch called Het Vaderland Roept ("the fatherland calls", a performance of which is recorded by the society Nieuw Leven in Emmen, 1919), or more likely, a version of A.A. van der Stempel's early work, Drie Lotelingen voor de Militieraad ("three conscripts before the military council"), published in Steenwijk by H. Spanjaard, 1869).
