Kunst en Smaak

Kunst en Smaak ("Art and Taste") was a children’s dramatic society founded in the Cape Town by J.W. Lotz in 1835. During its brief existence it was incredibly prolific, creating new productions about once a month, in addition to numerous repeat performances. As was the case with Tot Oefening en Smaak ten years earlier, the involvement of children with the theatre was not uncontroversial, and by early 1836 the society had already disbanded. [JH]
