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

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.
