1859: A selection from a melodrama entitled Friendship was performed in the Cape Town Theatre on 2 June by the "classical Shakespearean Reader and Impersonator" E.C. de Jocelyn Harvey, as part of "An evening of Tragedy, Melodrama and Light Comedy". Harvey himself played a young consumptive who has a last moment of joy when his friend returns in time for him to die in his arms. Other pieces done were the closet scene from Hamlet (Shakespeare), Town & Country, or Which is Best (Morton) and an Extravaganza Macbeth (Talfourd). Supporting performers for the evening's entertainment included Mr Devere, Miss Delmaine, Mr Connorton, Mr Keens and Mr Stenner (the latter three with permission of Colonel Graham of the local regiment).
