De Oude Rot

De Oude Rot ("an old hand" - literally "an old rat")

1837: The Merchant of Venice (Shakespeare), High Life Below Stairs (Townley), Othello, of De Moor van Venetien (Shakespeare) and Dirk Menschenschrik (Holberg). Possibly also Flodoardo van Overschie, of De Kleine Bandiet and De Oude Rot, though Bosman (1928: p. 338) is unsure whether the performances were actually by Vlyt en Kunst or perhaps another company, since it is credited to the "South African Amateur Company".
