Langerman
F. Langerman (fl.1830s) was an amateur actor.
There is some confusion about the Cape Town family Langerman (or Langermann) and their relationship to the Cape theatre, for Bosman (1928) also lists a J. Langerman or simply refers to Langerman, while his 1980 book refers to a Langermann as a member of the company Door Yver Bloeit de Kunst (1849-1855).
