 The Semi-CircleEnglish Language Theatre in Basel since 1975 |
Welcome to The Semi-CircleEnglish 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. |
Check out the Radio X English Show interview from the 1st December with The Semi-Circle President Mike Bray and the "Lockdown in Little Grimley" Directors and actors Zuzana and David Cox. You can listen to the interview via the link here |

The Semi-Circle production of "Lockdown in Little Grimley" by David Tristram has now completed its live showing before an invited audience with two very succesful performances at the Theatre Arlecchino, Basel on November 20 & 21, 2020. The performances were filmed and will shortly be made available for online viewing. Details of the play are available |
Donating to Rather than selling tickets for "Lockdown in Little Grimley" we are asking our live and online audiences if they would be prepared to make a donation via our "Caritas donation" page on the website to the Caritas charity. The Caritas beider Basel organisation helps people in poverty in Basel and the region as well as around the world (click here for details). You may be surprised to learn that more than half a million people were already living in poverty in Switzerland before COVID-19, and the pandemic is now threatening to push many of them into crisis. We are delighted to say that our invited audiences for the two live shows have donated A grateful thankyou to you all. |
