Since the 1970s the Baxter has been the focus of Capetonian theatre. There are three main venues at the centre – a 674-seat theatre, a concert hall and a studio – and between them they cover everything from comedy and kids’ shows to classical music and African dance spectaculars.
The Baxter has an ongoing relationship with the Royal Shakespeare Company thanks to Capetonian Sir Antony Sher, who has performed here.
