About
The Minack Theatre is an open-air theatre, constructed above a gully with a rocky granite outcrop jutting into the sea (minack from Cornish meynek means a stony or rocky place). The theatre is located near Porthcurno, approximately 4 miles from Land's End in Cornwall.
The theatre is used from June to September for a full summer season of 17 plays, produced by companies from all over the UK and visiting companies from the USA. The theatre is open for visitors throughout the rest of the year. The 75th Anniversary of Minack was celebrated with a production of The Tempest in August 2007, directed by Simon Taylor and performed by the Winchester College Players.

Found this on the Minack
Found this on the Minack website re todays performance: SKILLYWIDDEN. Legend has it there are five faery 'races' in Cornwall: the Small Folk, the Piskies, the Knockers, the Brownies and - most mischievous of all - the Spriggans.
Join our hero on a journey through the Cornish landscape as he searches for these elusive creatures - in ancient stone circles, old mine workings, fields, farmland, hedgerows and moors
Meet Skillywidden, the mischievous Pisky, and all of his faery friends!
Watch the dance of the ‘beautiful’ Faery Queen!
Marvel at the incredible Book Of Nature as it literally comes alive before your eyes!
Hear tales of Tom Trevorrow, Betty Stoggs, Coleman Gray and other strange characters from Cornish folklore!
Learn about bees, bats, birds and badgers, and discover the secrets of the Cornish countryside!
Skillywidden is a celebration of the wildlife and countryside of Cornwall, using Squashbox Theatre’s distinctive mix of puppets, songs, storytelling and cabaret, with a strong environmental message. More crazy characters, more silly slapstick, more tall tales and more fantastic facts!

I agree Duffers, it would be great to watch 'Titanic' at the Minack, I couldn't think of a better setting. Although the people arriving for the matinee at the moment are going to get wet backsides unless they've brought something to sit on!
