 A name often given to the theatrical endeavours of the [[73rd Regiment]], stationed in Cape Town, on account of the leading role played in the activities by [[Captain Hall]]. Performing under the patronage of the wife of the Governor and with the permission of the Garrison Commandant, it was part of what is generally referred to as the [[Garrison Players]], and active in the period 1850-1855.
-For a while (1850-1852) [[Captain Hall]] was clearly the leading figure of the [[Officers of the Garrison]], playing an inspirational and managerial role in the company, and specifically the [[73rd Regiment]]'s contribution. Hence the company is frequently referred to as [[Captain Hall's Company]] in the period 1859-52.  After this  (1853 to 1855), Hall appears to have largely acted for the [[Officers of the Garrison]] - and briefly for the visiting professional [[G.V. Brooke]]- on occasion, with the administration passing to other officers; though [[F.C.L. Bosman|Bosman]], 1928[http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/bosm012dram01_01/] still refers to "[[Captain Hall's Company]]" as the dominant company of 1854. After 1855 no more is heard of him or the company name.
