Five short plays. Five different stories. One unforgettable evening of theatre!

This November, Semi-Circle Basel brings together five captivating short plays exploring life, death, and the unexpected moments in between.

From dark comedy and sharp satire to suspense and heartfelt drama, each story offers a unique perspective on human relationships, life’s unpredictable twists, and what happens when the final curtain draws near.

Expect ghostly reunions, disastrous dates, grave robbers, chilling phone calls, and one very reluctant farewell, all woven into a varied and entertaining evening of theatre.

Performed in English, «Curtains: Five Final Acts» showcases the creativity and talent of Semi-Circle Basel’s international theatre community.

Whether you’re a seasoned theatre enthusiast or joining us for the first time, prepare for an evening filled with laughter, intrigue, emotion, and a few unexpected surprises.

Five stories. Countless emotions. One final curtain.
