Minack Theatre With the potential to be the most uncomfortable theatre in the country for those who come unprepared for what the Atlantic weather can throw across the stage; the spectacular location of the Minack Theatre set on granite cliffs overlooking Porthcurno bay guarantees it as a top tourist attraction.  Here we see the theatre on a benign September day with a handful of tourists enjoying a leisurely look around this unique venue.
