The Robben Island Amateurs was probably an ad hoc company made up of inmates and staff members of the asylum on Robben Island in Cape Town in the mid 19th century.
Bosman records performances by this company in 1865, when they performed a benefit for victims of the great storm that had recently raged (i.e in May 1865). The plays put on were Did I Dream It? (Wooler) and Fearful Tragedy in the Seven Dials (Selby).
