Biography
Born Timothy Daniel Frawley in Washington, D.C., he initially played juveniles in stock companies, making his New York debut in 1887 and going on to perform for the Lyceum Stock Company. He later formed his own company, The T.D. Frawley Stock Company, based in San Francisco. He toured the USA, Asia and the British colonies with the company.
Contribution to SA theatre, film, media and/or performance
In 1904 Frawley and his company paid a visit to South Africa en route from the East, touring South Africa under the auspices of the Wheeler Brothers, with a repertoire that included Brother Officers (Trevor), Madame Sans-Gêne (Sardou), Arizona (Thomas) and Secret Service (Gilette). The tour was a personal triumph for Frawley, who was acclaimed by local critics, according to Boonzaier (1923, cited in Bosman, 1980: p.)
