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.

“My plaas se naam is Vergenoeg”, written by George Weideman was the winner of the Sanlam Theatre price for best script for Afrikaans theatre.  This play is more than a classic farm story.  The multi- layered, storie is situated in Namakwaland, during the time of commission sittings. Grace Boois wants to bury her son on the farm Vergenoeg, but who own the farm?  Were the Bushmans there first or the animals?  The Bushmans used rocks to indicate that the land belongs to them, and the farmer bought the land.

A Greek chorus or in this case the animals comment about the happenings on and off the stage.  Tsoei-Goab’s son/daughter, together with the all-knowing narrators, the jesters and morphing characters join the animals to create magical realism on stage.

Comments by the actors on the play suggest that it is different, epic and extraordinary, but still relevant to issues that must be addressed today.  The play hint towards Pieter Fourie’s “Die Koggelaars”.

The production, which promise to be an epic visual experience, will play at the Wynand Mouton Theatre from 14 – 17 May at 19:30. Pieter Venter is the director and the players are third year students from the department of Drama and Theatre Arts at the University of the Free State.
