The original text
The only reference to such a work is by F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p. 126), based on a newspaper advert from the Kaapsche Courant of 21 June, 1809.
South African performances
It was apparently performed in French by the French Company led by Charles Etienne Boniface, on 1 July in the African Theatre, Cape Town, with Eopipore, ou La Resurrection et Le Marriage de Biribi (Barago/Boniface).
