Eopipore, ou La Resurrection et Le Marriage de Biribi ("Eopipore, or The resurrection and the marriage of Biribi") is a comedy in three acts by Sire Barago.

F.C.L Bosman mistakenly has it as two plays (Eopipore, ou La Resurrection and Le Marriage de Biribi) on page 126 of his 1928 book, but provides the correct title under corrections at the start of the published volume.


The original text

Neither the play nor the author can be traced in any other source than F.C.L. Bosman (1928: p. 126), based on a newspaper advert from the Kaapsche Courant of 21 June, 1809. It was offered there as a work "translated by C.E. Boniface".

South African performances

1809: The play was apparently performed in French by the French Company led by Charles Mathurin Villet , on 1 July in the African Theatre, Cape Town, with Oromidas, ou Le Balêt de Balais (Anon).
