EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the inspiring figure of Rowena Cade on her 90th birthday, overlooking the awe-inspiring Minack Theatre she founded and built on the clifftop at Porthcurno, near Land's End in Cornwall. Born in 1893, Cade's determination and vision led to the creation of this remarkable historical landmark, which opened in 1932. The Minack Theatre, with its dramatic setting, is a testament to Cade's unwavering commitment and passion for the performing arts. Perched precariously on the edge of a cliff, the open-air amphitheater offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, providing a unique and unforgettable backdrop for performances. Cade's journey to build the Minack Theatre began when she transformed a small rocky platform into a makeshift theatre for her friends to perform in the 1920s. Over the years, she continued to add to the structure, using local materials and labor. The result is an architectural marvel that has stood the test of time and continues to attract visitors from around the world. As the old lady gazes out at the theatre she brought to life, her legacy lives on. The Minack Theatre has become a cherished part of Cornwall's rich history and continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its magical blend of art, nature, and history. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of one person's vision and determination to create something truly remarkable.
