Line 1: Line 1:
''[[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 [[Het Fransche Liefhebbery Geselschap|French Company]] led by [[Charles Mathurin Villet ]], on 1 July in the [[African Theatre]], Cape Town,  with ''[[Oromidas, ou Le Balêt de Balais]]'' (Anon).
