Noé is a play by French playwright André Obey (1892 – 1975)[1]
Translations and adaptations
Translated into English as Noah by Arthur Wilmurt, published by Heinemann, 1935.
An Afrikaans radio play called Noag ("Noah") by S.J. Petersen (1970) was possibly also based on the Obey play. Unpublished.
Translated into Afrikaans as Noag (1979) by Jannie Gildenhuys, for performance by students.
