("The Secret") According to the various sources there appear to have been a number of Dutch plays by this name which have been performed in South Africa. They were often translations from the French or the German (possibly even English, see The Secret by Morris) and there is some confusion in some cases about the exact text that was used, for the works seem to be somewhat interwoven.


The plays

Het Geheim by Hoffman and Solié (tr. Geysbeek)

A one act Dutch version of Le Secret, a French one-act opéra by François Benoît Hoffman (1760–1828) and Jean-Pierre Solié (1755- 1812).
