Situated at 68 Orange Street in the Gardens, Cape Town, lies the Labia Theatre, the oldest independent art-repertory cinema in the country.
The Labia, originally an Italian Embassy ballroom, was opened by Princess Labia in May 1949 as a theatre for the staging of live performances.
For the past twenty-nine years, it has been operating as a cinema on the alternative circuit appealing mainly to the more discerning viewer who enjoys its quality product and the charm of its old-world ambience.
Adding to the ambience, is a cosy coffee bar which offers a variety of home-made delicacies. A chocolate bar also caters for those preferring the popular sweets, coldrinks and popcorn.
