Het Geheim

Het Geheim ("The Secret") is a Dutch title that appears to have been given to many plays, of which a number have been performed in South Africa. They are 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 which exact text is being used, for the works seem to be somewhat interwoven.
