Henry Herbert(c. 1879–1947) was an English stage actor and producer.
Biography
He and his wife Gladys Vanderzee arrived in the Cape in 1912 and gave a boost to classical theatre, playing in works such as She Stoops to Conquer, Macbeth, The Rivals, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
In 1911, and again in 1913, Henry Herbert and his Stratford-on-Avon Players presented many of Shakespeare's plays in the main towns.
Later, in 1921, Henry Herbert returned to Cape Town to do a full-length Hamlet, which started at 6 pm and finished at midnight. According to Stopforth, "those who saw it vowed that it did not drag for a minute" (215).
