Mrs Brazier (fl 1869-1870) was an amateur performer in Cape Town.


Biography

She is billed in South Africa as being from the Theatre Royal, Glasgow, and was married Thomas Brazier (the two on occasion referred to jointly as The Braziers).

Contribution to SA theatre, film, media and/or performance

The Braziers seem to have come to South Africa as members of Clara Tellett's company, and stayed on to make a life for themselves in Cape Town.

She performed interpolated acts for Clara Tellett and her company in 1862 (e.g. a "Medley Dance" on 30 June and a dance 3 July), as well as acting in some of the plays, and is later named as an occasional performer for the Young Men's Institute and Club Dramatic Company, run by Thomas Brazier, active in Cape Town between 1869 and 1871.
