Event information
Similar to London and New York’s Shakespeare in the Park programmes, Maynardville’s green wooded park has been The Bard’s Cape Town home since the 1950s, and is one of the region’s favourite outdoor theatre venues. It has become traditional for theatre-goers to picnic around the park and lake before the show starts in the 700 seater theatre setting.
The original Shakespeare Under the Sun event was expanded in 2018 to include a full classical experience. The Maynardville Open-Air Festival features theatre, comedy, dance and orchestral music as part of a three-month line up of classical entertainment.
