1. Die Uur van Vergelding "The Hour of Retribution"). According to the programme this was by Friedrich Gunther, though Binge (1969) suggests it is by all evidence a translation of The Divorce Question. Binge's view corresponds with a list of productions by the Hanekom Company compiled by André Huguenet (published in Filma (Kultuur) in January 1946) listing the author of Uur van Vergelding as "MacQuire" (sic).


A play dealing with the Roman Catholic attitude to divorce, the Afrikaans version was produced in 1930 by the Hanekom Company and has over a hundred performances. Starred Wena Naudé, Willem van Zyl and James Norval.

2. Die Uur van Vergelding, a one-act play by Jac J. Brits. Published in Tydskrif vir Letterkunde, 9(3):65-74. Sept 1959.
