Kavasji Palanji Khatau, also spelled Cowasji Palanji Khatao (1857 – 16 August 1916) was a singer, actor, director, and owner of a Parsi theatre company, who started his career with the Empress Victoria Theatrical Company. Despite opposition from his employers, he introduced Mary Fenton, his wife and the first Anglo-Indian actress,[1] to the stage. This led him to start his own company, the Alfred Theatre Company, where he, his wife, and other actors had successful careers.[1]
