Revision as of 07:14, 14 December 2014

There appear to be two plays by this name in German, one by August von Kotzebue (1798) and another by Andreas Josef von Guttenberg (1800). Both apparently generated from Vienna at approximately the same time, though they are clearly different plays. Both were apparently performed in South Africa.
