Rare theaterplay by Van der Willigen Adriaan (1766-1841). He was an active advocate of the ‘Bataafsche Revolutie’ (Batavian Republic) in The Netherlands. After he became financially independant in 1802, he could spend his full attention on studying, writing, the arts, science etc. He set out on a journey, that lasted multiple years, to France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Germany. When he returned to the Netherlands in 1805 he published various travel journals, amongst which a rare description of Paris (also available). This theatre play with music was made in 1814 for the theatre playor actor T.J. Majofski. It was performed in Paris by Majofski himself. The play could only be published after his death in 1836, as was promised by the author.
