Welcome to The Semi-Circle

English Language Theatre Group


The Semi-Circle is a non-profit theatre group, based in Basel. Founded in 1975, we are all amateurs and we operate entirely with volunteers. It is our aim to bring to life on stage dramatic works in the English language and to stage two productions every year. We also hold some special events for members only, and monthly Play Readings which are open to all.





We are delighted to announce our next production


TOP GIRLS  by Caryl Churchill


This play observes how different women cope with the constraints of a patriarchal society in the mid 1980s Britain, a time of rapid change.

Marlene is a career-driven business woman and only interested in women's success.
During an extravagant dinner party she introduces her "friends", amongst them famous women from history, such as the female Pope Joan.
But is Marlene as strong as she looks? 


We learn how other women cope in and around the business world and start to wonder:
What does it actually mean to be a successful woman?
