Belphegor, Or: The Mountebank And His Wife [Afrikaans]

By Adolphe Philippe d'Ennery

Belphegor, Or, The Mountebank And His Wife is an Afrikaans adaptation of a 19th-century French play. Adapted from the original work by Adolphe d'Ennery and Marc Fournier, this version by Thomas Higgie and Thomas Hailes Lacy brings the tale to a new audience. The play explores themes of deception, love, and social commentary through the colorful characters and dramatic situations inherent in the world of a mountebank and his wife.

This adaptation offers a fascinating glimpse into the cross-cultural exchange of theatrical works and provides valuable insights into the dramatic traditions of both France and South Africa. "Belphegor" remains a compelling example of how stories can be reimagined and reinterpreted across different languages and contexts.
