Line 1: Line 1:
A venue opened in Cape Town on the corner of Bree- and Dorp-Streets in 1852 by [[Door Yver bloeit de Kunst]]. It seems to have been a well-equipped theatre, but its impractically small size led it to be abandoned by 1854. Utilized on occasion by inter alia '''Door Yver Bloeit de Kunst'''. Apparently it was a somewhat inadequate hall and uncomfortable ([[De Zuid Afrikaan]], 12 Sept. 1853), and its use by the [[Dutch amateurs]] was discontinued towards the end of 1853. [Fletcher p. 79, mentions the Mauritian circus of [[Dalla Case]] having first appeared there in 1848 – but elsewhere says it was at the [[Hope Street Theatre]] ***???] (See: Fletcher, 1994; Bosman, 1928;) [TH, JH]
