A live show at a theatre is something that not even modern technology has been able to beat. Theatres in Cape Town are abundantly available and all of them offer a unique experience with world class shows. From the elegance of productions on ice to tense stage shows, there is something to cater for every taste. We head out to these magnificent establishments to sample what is on offer on a regular basis. We will shed a tear in an emotional drama, roll on the floor laughing in the latest comedy or travel back in time to catch an enduring Shakespeare classic, all so that you can pick the right show to suit your tastes. Local talent in South Africa is on the rise and a number of shows have taken to the world stage with success, so why not catch it first while it is fresh during your stay in the Mother City?

Cape Town theatres vary in size and capacity, from the beautiful and intimate Theatre on the Bay in the scenic Camps Bay which offers a whole lot more than just a show, to the massive and elegant Artscape Theatre. The Maynardville open-air Theatre is another place really worth visiting with its annual events and superb shows presented in a unique and relaxed setting. The various venues are host to a number of shows that eventually make their way around the globe, as well as some of the best international acts on offer. Once we have savoured the entire experience, we will aim to bring it to you in detail so that you can be sure of a great night out, instead of certain torture.
