The Minack is a unique theatre perched on the cliffs high above the Atlantic ocean.
The idea for the theatre was born when Rowena Cade, who lived in Minack
House at the top of the cliff, decided to create a place for local drama
enthusiasts to perform Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Over the
winter of 1931 and into 1932 Rowena and her gardener, Billy Rawlings,
moved endless granite boulders and earth, creating the stage and the
lower terraces of the theatre, in the same place as you see them today.
The first performance was in August 1932.
