Regarding '''names of theatrical companies''': An important facet pre-20th century theatre in South Africa (as elsewhere in the world) has been the use of a '''[[motto]]''' as part of the title for or name of a theatrical company. In the literature one often finds such a company being referred to by its [[motto]] rather than by its actual title, since descriptions (and names) of companies tended to be somewhat flexible and to vary considerably, the only reliable or constant element being the [[motto]]. Many companies from the period are thus only identified by and discussed under the particular company's [[motto]] in this encyclopaedia. | Regarding '''names of theatrical companies''': An important facet pre-20th century theatre in South Africa (as elsewhere in the world) has been the use of a '''[[motto]]''' as part of the title for or name of a theatrical company.

Click on the appropriate letter of the alphabet below to obtain an alphabetical listing of links to entries on venues, companies, societies, etc in the encyclopaedia.
Please note that for consistency, abbreviations forming part of the name of a venue (e.g. St for Saint in St John's Theatre ) are spelled WITHOUT a period/full top, as is normal South African usage, even though some sources and institutions appear to have preferred the final period/stop in their titles.
Regarding names of theatrical companies: An important facet pre-20th century theatre in South Africa (as elsewhere in the world) has been the use of a motto as part of the title for or name of a theatrical company. In the literature one often finds such a company being referred to by its motto rather than by its actual title, since descriptions (and names) of companies tended to be somewhat flexible and to vary considerably, the only reliable or constant element being the motto. Many companies from the period are thus only identified by and discussed under the particular company's motto in this encyclopaedia.
