There appear to have been a number of Dutch plays called Een Misverstand ("A misunderstanding") that have been performed in South Africa over the years.

Not to be confused with the musical piece Het Misverstand ("the misunderstanding") , or Het Misverstand, of Elk is Een Dief in Zijne Nering (Anon).


Een Misverstand, a one act comedy by the author of "Schrijver van Een Geschandvlekte Naam"

The original text

When performed in South Africa it was billed as being by "Schrijver van Een Geschandvlekte Naam", whom F.C.L. Bosman (1980) for some unnamed reason identifies as P. Faddegon, the local amateur and writer from Cape Town. However, he also mentions that, according to the Catalogus Nederlansche Toneel, Een Geschandvlekte Naam was a play in five acts by J. Schuitemaker (a playwright and publisher from Purmerend), a fact substantiated by the original text of the five act play as published by Schuitemaker in 1867.

If so, the one act play Een Misverstand could possibly be a local adaptation (and renaming) by Paddegon of Schuitemaker's one act comedy Oom en Neef, of Misverstand op Misverstand ("Uncle and Nephew, misunderstanding upon misunderstanding"), which was not an original play, but a free adaptation of a French piece, prepared for the Rederijkers in Holland (by Schuitemaker?) and published by G.T. Bom in Amsterdam in about 1872.
