Time Out says

When it comes to artistic excellence in Cape Town, the Artscape Theatre Centre is the place to visit. Located in central Cape Town, the Artscape was opened on 19 May 1971 as the Nico Malan Theatre Centre. Ever since, it has been the home to world class productions and has become the venue of choice for all genres of performing arts. Described as an "iconic cultural beacon in the Western Cape", the theatre provides theatre-goers with an experience to remember.
