The Fugard Theatre

Back

If you are passionate about performance art, or want an inside look into some of Cape Towns most promising talents, be sure to include a visit to the amazing and culturally enticing Fugard Theatre, while enjoying your vacation in Cape Town. The Fugard theatre is named after South Africa's most significant playwrite, the internationally recognized and acclaimed Athol Fugard. The plays written by Athol are creative, soul searching, and have profoundly impacted the way people see apartheid in our country, by reflecting on this subject in his work. The Fugard Theatre showcases an amazing array of shows and plays on its stage, some of which are locally inspired renditions of well known theatre productions, and other of which captures lives and characters in SA. The Fugard Theatre can seat up to 320 people in its quirky and cozy confines, and is located in the historic Sacks Futeran in Cape Town's district six, with the renovated Congregational Church hall as its majestic entrance. Before and after each show is scheduled, The Fugard serves light meals and snacks and also opens its ground-floor bar, serving some spectacular local wines and craft beer on tap - if the weather permits; the theatre will sometimes open its rooftop bar as well, where you can enjoy panoramic city views.
