+Founded by [[Helen Mann]] and [[Bruce Mann]] who was inspired by a speech made by [[André Huguenet]] after his performance of ''[[King Lear]]'' at the [[Port Elizabeth Opera House]] on May 10, 1960.
 Between 1960 and 1971, productions of Shakespeare plays were presented by a variety of organisations, such as the [[Port Elizabeth Theatre Guild]], [[PEMADS]] and [[PEAAT]]. From 1966 to 1971, the [[Port Elizabeth Theatre Guild]] entered into an association with the [[Port Elizabeth Gilbert and Sullivan Society]], producing three Shakespeare productions: ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'' (1969), ''[[Twelfth Night]]'' (1970) and ''[[The Merchant of Venice]]'' (1971). From 1972, the [[Port Elizabeth Shakespearean Festival]] operated as an independent organisation, and the [[Port Elizabeth Theatre Guild]] ceased to exist, essentially absorbed by the [[Port Elizabeth Gilbert and Sullivan Society]] and the [[Port Elizabeth Shakespearean Festival]].
