Fringe Festival kicks off

The annual Fringe Festival kicks off today, Thursday 22 Spetember at the City Hall in Cape Town until Saturday October 8.

The two-week event is set to showcase over 80 spectacular acts across a number of genres – drama, dance, comedy, performance art, illusion, music, a children’s theatre screening the premiere of The Gruffalo and more – although, organisers are aiming to establish the popular annual event primarily as a theatre festival. This major showcase is one of the biggest in Cape Town that fully celebrates, and is geared towards, nurturing South African creative talent and the arts.
