[[George Giddens]], brought from England by the [[Wheeler Theatre Company]], acted in '''Are you a Mason?''', a farce translated from original German farce ''Die Longenbrüder'' by Carl Laufs and Curt Kraatz by Leo Ditrichstein,  at the [[Good Hope Theatre]] on 4 April 1904.
 
 
 
Translated into [[Afrikaans]] as ''[[Is Jy 'n Bokryer?]]'' by [[Dirk J. Mostert]] and produced by [[André Huguenet]] in 194*. The play was greeted with enthusiasm in rural towns, but in the cities this comedy was boycotted due to Huguenet’s refusal to donate funds to the Governor-General's Fund for the war and he was marked as unpatriotic.
 
 
 
[[Elsa Steenkamp]] directed ''Is Jy 'n Bokryer'' for a performance by students of the [[Drama Department, University of the Free State]], opening 14 October 1982 at the [[Scaena Theatre]].
