It appears to have been started under the influence of Baron [[Karl von Wolzogen]]. In a letter of 1788 the Baron mentions their forming such a society as part of the literary society founded by the German officers, and having by then performed two plays in the [[Garrison Theatre|Barracks Theatre]] (Lessing's ''[[Der Schatz]]'' and Stephan's ''[[Deserteur Aus Kindesliebe]]''). No records of the productions of this early period are extant, since they were not for public performance, but only intended as entertainment for the officers and their families. <br /> <br /> == Sources ==<br /> <br /> Bosman, 1928; Fletcher, 1994<br /> <br /> == For more information ==<br /> <br /> See also [[German Theatre in South Africa]] <br /> <br /> <br /> == Return to ==<br /> <br /> <br /> Return to [[South_African_Theatre/Venues|South African Theatre Venues, Companies, Societies, etc ]]<br /> <br /> Return to [[The ESAT Entries]]<br /> <br /> Return to [[Main Page]]</div>
