-An [[amateur]] company active in Cape Town ''circa'' 1843-1847. Also known as the [[Private English Amateur Theatrical Company]] and [[Private Amateur Company]]. They played in the "[[Dutch Theatre]]" in Roeland Street and their secretary was [[A. van Breda]]. It appears to have been made up of Dutch players (including [[E. de Roubaix]], Maynier, De Wahl, Combrink, etc.) performing in English. Groom describes attending a performance of ''[[The Miller and His Men]]'' in 1843, and they did ''[[The Castle Spectre]]'' (Lewis) and ''[[Comfortable Lodgings]]'' (Peake) on 6 November 1847.
