Performance history in South Africa
1949: A work (a series of tableaus?) billed as "Episodes uit Deur stryd tot oorwinning van Adèle Jooste" were performed by Volksteater, Pretoria as part of the celebrations around the inauguration of the Voortrekker Monument. The original programme[1] for the event however also lists two other "historical tableaus" by Adele Jooste - 'n Voortrekker Troue ("A Voortrekker marriage", produced in the Amphitheatre by J.A.A.T.S. and Die Aankoms van die Hugenote aan die Kaap ("The Arrival of the Huguenots at the Cape"), the latter taken from the author's own Deur Stryd tot Oorwinning and produced by the Franschhoek Hugenote Teatergroep (Franschoek Huguenot Theatre Group).
