Cutler Comedy Company
The Cutler Comedy Company appears to have been a local, bilingual (English and Afrikaans), theatrical company that performed once in Cape Town during 1906, under the patronage of the Governor.
F.C.L. Bosman (1980: p. 481) records a performance by them in the Good Hope Theatre, Cape Town, by on 2 March, of Het Zoen in die Donker (a Dutch/Afrikaans translation of Buckstone's A Kiss in the Dark), Catching a Count (Anon.) and "A Farce in the Taal" (i.e. an untitled farce in Afrikaans.)
