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 production is recommended for children 7 years and up and everyone young at heart.

Helen Martins (1897 – 1976) is the well known and eccentric artist who created the “Owl House” at Nieu Bethesda, a small Karoo village, as an escape from mundane matters, from the outside world. The “Owl House” was Helen Martins’ home for most of her 78 years. During the last 30 or so years of her life she devoted all her  energy in creating a house full of glistening fantasy in light and colour, and a garden with over 500, almost grotesque cement statues.

This is the given in the play, “Helen van Bethesda” loosely referring to “Helen of Troy”; to towns and cities who’s destiny was sealed by a woman; to sacrifice that leads to salvation (in this case, the town of Nieu Bethesda).

Helen Martins’, the “owl woman’s” life and work gets to life in this unique production, written by Naòmi Morgan and directed by Gerben Kamper. The run is from 26 – 28 March 2013 at 19h30 in the Wynand Mouton Theatre.
