Minack Theatre

Background of Minack Theatre  

The theatre is situated in South-West Cornwall, on the Cornish cliffs amongst lush greenery. It was built by Rowena Cade with the purpose of entertaining people (having originally been set up for a performance of Shakespeare’s The Tempest), as well as to tell stories of the past. It was hand-made, dynamite being used to blast out the various terraces and seating areas.
