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.

Confined in his villa at Yalta by illness in April of 1900, Chekov receives a delightful visit by the Moscow Art Theatre. They have embarked on a provincial tour with the express purpose of persuading Chekov to give them his latest play. Noteworthy characters include Konstantin Stanislavski (1863 – 1938), founder member of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898; Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko (1858 – 1943), founder member of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1898; Olga Knipper (1868 – 1959), an actress, part of John Driver en Jeffrey Haddow the company of the Moscow Art Theatre and who married Anton Chekov at the end of his life; Maxim Gorki (1868 – 1936), die well known revolutionary Russian dramatist (The Lower Depths, 1902); and Ivan Bunin (1870 – 1953), the first Russian recipient of the Nobel Prize for literature in 1933.

The play is criss crossed with amorous triangles, battles of ego, high spirits and melancholic languor reminiscent of Chekov’s work. This fictional comedy by John Driver and Jeffrey Haddow, was the winner of several prestigious awards including a Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for Distinguished Playwriting and a American Theatre Critics Citation.
