Summary
This chart does not include performances of plays in languages other than Dutch and only concerns performances that took place in what is now the Netherlands—this means that performances in the former colonies or in today’s Belgium have not been listed. While drawing it, I have consulted online databases such as Delpher and Onstage, as well as private repertoire lists compiled by Anna de Haas and Bennie Pratasik. I also drew on information from secondary literature, including the works of Haverkorn van Rijsewijk, Gillhof, and van der Heijden and Sanders. There are undoubtedly performances that I have overlooked, and I believe that many more have gone unrecorded. Here, I have merely wanted to offer an indication of where and how many times these plays have been put on stage.
