 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. |
COVID-19 update The Committee of the Semi-Circle have regretfully decided to cancel the production of Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None” at the Theatre Arlecchino scheduled for November 2020. It has become clear that we could not fully guarantee the safety of our cast, the crew or, indeed our audience at this time given the size of the theatre and the restrictions on space we would have to live with. In addition the available scheduling at the theatre would have made it extremely difficult to stage the piece as we believe it deserves in order to do justice to both the play and the reputation of the Semi-Circle. We still hope to be able to present a series of short plays in November using a format suitable for the situation at the time. |
