The Brickhill

In honour of Joan Brickhill — South Africa’s first lady of theatre.

A legendary name

A luxury venue carrying a legendary legacy.

South African musicals would not be what they are today were it not for Joan Brickhill. The Brickhill celebrates the actress and producer’s contribution to show business in South Africa — in her time, the theatre doyenne produced classics such as Oklahoma, Lock Up Your Daughters, The King and I and Hello Dolly, alongside her husband Louis Burke.

It is fitting that her theatrical legacy takes permanent residence here: a luxury hospitality venue of plush red carpets and red velvet, hung with the memorabilia of a legendary career — and carrying the name of South Africa’s first lady of theatre.
