This is an unusual theatre, being an open-air theatre on a cliff-side site overlooking the sea. I went to a play there in 2007, and found that I could hear and see perfectly well. Stone bench seating is provided as-is, and a ticket doesn\u2019t allocate you to a seat as in a conventional theatre. You are advised to take something to sit on, and suitable clothing in case of light rain, and arrive early if you want a decent seating position. Ticket prices are quite low, compared with my local theatre.
\nAs for the programme, they generally offer popular fare. If you are staying in the area, and the weather isn\u2019t nasty, it would make an unusual night out. There is an on-site caf\u00e9. Note that the site can be visited during the day, on payment of an entrance charge (and if you want a look now, check the website\u2019s web-cams!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
