Een Jaloersche Dwaas, of Hij is Onzigtbaar ("The jealous fool, or He is invisible") is a one act Dutch comedy by A.A. van der Stempel, Jr. (fl. 1860s-1870s)

The original text

It is claimed to be a comedy fashioned from an old manuscript ("blijspel in één bedrijf naar een oud handschrift bewerkt") and the text is contained in part 4 of Tooneelstukken geschikt voor vereenigingen, inrichtingen van onderwijs en huiselijken kring, published by Bom in Amsterdam in 1871.


Though the actual date of composition is uncertain, it is known that Henle wrote most of her theatrical works after the birth of her daughter, a number of them around 1870, though it seems they were only performed and published much later.

Called an "Originalschauspiel in fünf Aufzügen" in a publication of the performance text of the version staged at Esslingen circa 1879/80 (Published Stuttgart : Greiner, 1879). No earlier records of the text or a performance have been found so far.

Translations and adaptations

It was freely translated as Onteerd ("dishonoured"), a Dutch play in four acts, by E. de Sael, according to an extant version of the Dutch text, published by Bakker in Drieborg, 1898.

However there is a record of a Dutch performance of it in South Africa in 1873. Though it may possibly be a mistake, and some other play is meant, it it is more probable that a Dutch translation of an early version of the text was extant in the Cape at the time.

Performance history in South Africa

1873: Said to hav e been performed in Dutch as Onteerd by Aurora II in the Oddfellows Hall, Cape Town, on 8 April, with a comic dialogue called Een Luidruchtige Jaspartij (A.N.E. Changuion and a one act comedy, Een Jaloerse Dwaas (A.A van der Stempel). (Both Koch and Conradie mention only the former piece, while Bosman mentions only the latter comedy.)

1880: Performed in Dutch as Onteerd by Aurora II in the Athenaeum Hall, Cape Town, on 3 June, with Een Lastige Overbuur (A.A. van der Stempel) as afterpiece.
