John Kani laments closure of The Fugard Theatre: Another icon has fallen
“Another icon has fallen to Covid-19.”
This is how acclaimed South African actor John Kani has described the news of the closure of Cape Town’s Fugard Theatre.
The theatre is closing its doors permanently with immediate effect, after being shut for a full year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Many performing arts institutions have experienced significant economic setbacks in the past year due to the lockdown regulations and this has resulted in closures of several popular theatre houses.
The founder of the 320-seater theatre, located in the historic Sacks Futeran building in Cape Town’s District Six, said in a statement posted on its website on Tuesday it would not be safe health-wise or financially viable to reopen in the foreseeable future.
