Media Release

A dancing cat, a howling dog, and a vampire bunny. The perfect pet combination for any family. It is a dark and stormy night and Chester (the family cat) and Harold (the family dog) sit waiting for their owners to return home from the movies. Chester and Harold are more than just pets, they are good friends too. When the Monroes finally get home, they come bearing a surprise: they have found a bunny in the movie theatre. However, this is no ordinary rabbit … this is the extraordinary Bunnicula. When the family’s produce starts losing its juice, Chester thinks he knows what is causing the fantastic phenomenon. Bunnicula is a vampire! Or maybe Chester’s imagination is getting the better of him. Singing and dancing their way through this hilarious mystery, the furry friends find room in their hearts, and in their home, for one very unique bunny.

This unique musical Children’s theatre production is directed by DeBeer Cloete and features second-year Drama students in the South African premiere of Deborah and James Howe’s Bunnicula. The production runs from the 11th to the 14th op April at the Scaena Rehearsal Room on the UFS Campus and tickets are available through Computicket.

The year is 1992; the play takes place in Soweto, South Africa. It was during this time the pitched battle broke out between the ANC supporters and the rival Zulu based Inkatha party. Some houses were firebombed; while guns, knives and sticks were used by Zulu’s to get control of townships in the east of Johannesburg. Ironically, it is the imaginary world of soapies that brings hope to what seemed to be a doomed South Africa.

So, What’s New? is a comedy based on three vivacious women and one rather inquisitive teenage girl. Here, the audience witness conversations that take place in a household that “appears to make people forget about their troubles”. Fatima Dike lays bare the souls of these women. Their fears, worries and stories of successes can easily resonate with anyone from any part of the world.

This hilarious play is a reminder that life still has to go on even during the darkest times.
