Discover The Space – Cape Town’s first non-racial theatre and a cradle of resistance drama during apartheid. The Space Theatre, founded in 1972 in Cape Town, was the first non-racial commercial theatre in South Africa. It was co-founded by Brian Astbury and became a critical hub for anti-apartheid drama. The theatre gave a platform to plays that were banned or censored elsewhere, launching the careers of many prominent South African actors. Though it closed in the late 1970s, its legacy influenced modern theatre activism.
