(1750-1825). Socialite and cultural commentator. Wife of the secretary to two British Governors (Sir [[George Yonge]] and Macartney) during the first British occupation of the Cape (1797-1806). Her letters and journals are a wonderful source of information about the times. Her value for theatre studies is her interest in theatre and her comments on the building of the [[African Theatre]] and the performances of the time. Considered to have written the first "review" of a play - her comments on the first performance of [[Samuel Foote]]'s ''[[Taste]]'' in the [[Barracks Theatre]] in 1800 (under the guidance of Dr Somers). She also left a sketch and poem about the theatre. Later came to love it, though was opposed to the idea initially. A number of plays and books have been written about her and her times, including ''[[Lady Anne Barnard and her Friends]]'' by [[Cecil Lewis]] (1920s), ''[[The Lady Anne gets her Bath]]'' by [[Dennis Rhodes Granger]] (1951), **
