Compare with the two similar photographs in my 1957/8 folder. The theatres were erected on the same spot at the western end of the car park. Is this still an annual event?

Re: Matshed theatre
Hi Andrew,
This is likely an annual event celebrating the birthday of a loca deity Tin Hau, the goddess of the sea. This does not limit to Shek O. Wherever there is a Tin Hau Temple, there may be such an event nearby on lunar calender the 23rd day of the third moon.
