Het Geheim
("The Secret") According to the various sources there appear to have been a number of Dutch plays by this name which have been performed in South Africa. They were all translations from the French or the German. There is some confusions in some cases about the exact text that was used, for the works seem to be somewhat interwoven.
There is also The Secret, an English comedy in five acts by Edward Morris (1768-1815).
