Pieter Toerien’s Theatre on the Bay
About
Imagine going to the theatre, arriving in the setting sun, being met with glasses tinkling with ice, champagne corks popping and then a performance by top South African stars in an internationally acclaimed play.” – Pieter Toerien, 1988.
Behind a velvet curtain that floats atop the theatre like the physical representation of an invocation to suspend disbelief and give yourself over to a world of imagination made real. Surely this is one of this hemisphere’s most striking theatre facades – we go through the Theatre doors and into the auditorium. Before you, the stage. A stage that has seen countless Cape Town firsts, and even a world premiere or ten; that led the way in South African theatre with farces and comedies, secured Broadway and West End coups and piloted the small-stage, full-cast musical. This stage has played host to legends of South African theatre – actors, actresses, directors, writers and behind-the-scene magicians of set-design, lighting and sound – and also provided a stepping stone for aspirant professionals who are now household names. It is a stage waiting for your eyes to behold what it will reveal.
Welcome to Theatre on the Bay, the Sidedish Theatre Bisto and the Bill Flynn VIP Room (and The Cookie Monster In Me).
