Turn Him Out - A one-act farce (Williams, 1863)

A very popular English farce in one act, written by T.J. Williams (Thomas John Williams, 1824-1874) and first performed in 1863.

Translations and adaptations

Translated and adapted into early Afrikaans (or Cape Dutch) as Een Misverstand ("A Misunderstanding") by G.P. du Toit (also known by his pseudonym Charon) in 1898.

Performances in South Africa

Often performed in the Empire and in South Africa in the late 19th century.

1873: Possibly first performed in English by Disney Roebuck on 6 December 1873.

1882: The Student's Debating Society did a performance as part of their end-of-year "entertainment" in the Masonic Lodge in Cape Town, 24 November 1882.

1898: The Afrikaans version, called Een Misverstand, translated by G.P. du Toit, was performed by the Gedenkschool der Hugenoten in Paarl on 10 December 1898, as part of an "entertainement". Binge (1969) maintains this was the first programme he could find of a performance in Afrikaans, though the programme listed it as a "Dutch Play". The author, who had an actor in the play, later assured him it had been in Afrikaans.

1914: Performed in Afrikaans on 28 September 1914 by the Debating Society of Nooitgedacht South in the Oudtshoorn district.
