Uitgaan is a Dutch play in four acts by "Glanor" (pseudonym of Hugo Beijerman or Hugo Beyerman, 1836-1913)


The original text

A glorification of family life, it was hailed as a work of considerable literary merit which had quite an influence on the language and performance style of Dutch theatre at the time. First performed on 15 March 1873 at the society De Vereeniging, 's-Gravenhage, by a theatre company from Rotterdam, directed by the author himself, and thereafter invited to the Nederland Schouwburg, Amsterdam, opening on 13 May 1874. After this the paly was seen at most of the larger centres in the Netherlands. Translated into German, it was also performed at the Weimar Hoftheater in 1874.

Translations and adaptations

Performance history in South Africa

1895: Twice performed in Pretoria in this year, probably by the Rederijkerskamer Onze Taal. (In his report on it, F.C.L. Bosman, 1980: p. 484, for some reason suggests this may have been a version of Ik Inviteer mijn Kolonel rather than Glanor's play).
