Mr [[H. Carpenter]] was a clerk and an amateur theatre practitioner in Cape Town.

==Contribution to SA theatre, film, media and/or performance==

He was apparently a leading member of the amateur theatre company [[All the World's a Stage]]. He was one of three members who in 1843 negotiated for the rights to build a theatre in Cape Town , at the corner of Drury Lane and Constitution Street. This was later to become the [[Drury Lane Theatre]].
