Kunst en Smaak ("Art and Taste")was a young people's dramatic society in Cape Town (1835-6)
Contents
The company
Founded in the Cape Town by J.W. Lotz round about 1835. During its brief existence it was incredibly prolific, creating new productions about once a month, in addition to numerous repeat performances. They usually performed in a venue designated simply De Liefhebbery Toneel (i.e. "The Amateur Theatre"). The whole Lotz family appear to have been involved, and among its key players were J. Langerman and J. Stegmann.
As was the case with Tot Oefening en Smaak ten years earlier, the involvement of children with the theatre was not uncontroversial, and by early 1836 the society had already disbanded.
