Translations and adaptations

Translations

Translated into Afrikaans as Die Wonderwerk ("The Miracle"), by Pieter-Paul Fourie. The text has never been published.

The text of another Afrikaans translation (by Fanus Mocke) and also called Die Wonderwerk, is held by Dalro[3].

NOTE:The direct Afrikaans translation of the title (i.e. as Die Wonderwerker) has funnily enough never been used for the play. However, that title was later used for the impressive 2012 film by Katinka Heyns about an incident in the life of the poet, journalist and naturalist Eugène Marais.
