Entehrt ("dishonoured") is a German play in five acts by E.(Elise) Henle (1831/2-1892)[1].

The play is often wrongly attributed to a C. Henle.

The original text

Called an "Originalschauspiel in fünf Aufzügen" it was staged Esslingen circa 1879/80. However it must have been written somewhat earlier, since a performance of it is recorded in South Africa in 1873.

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.

Performance history in South Africa

1873: 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.
