It is the largest festival in KZN and one of the leading festivals in SA.
This year’s event will take place five weeks
earlier than usual, which organisers hope will result in better weather for
visitors.
“Our aim is to bring the pick of SA theatre to KZN over the weekend,” says artistic director, Sue Clarence. “It isn’t simply a drama festival; there are dollops of comedy, music of several different genres, an extensive fine art exhibition, exciting arts related workshops, fun activities for kids, upmarket craft and a collection of classic cars - from a vintage Rolls Royce to modern Ferraris.
"There is live music, street theatre and a wide variety of food on
sale. Naturally, there is a beer tent as well!”
