John Halls Amatörteater
In the Gothenburg of the late 18th century , the bourgeoise had a vivid interest in amateur theatre. One of the prominent figures in amateur theatre circles around that time was John Hall, a well-situated bourgeois. Probably in 1775, Hall built a private theatre in his home, which was used for the purpose of private bourgeois amateur theatre.[1] The theatre salon is said to have been situated close to the garden, in the west of the house.
Hall also arranged balls that followed the theatre performances.[2]
