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.

The British playwright, Anthony Shaffer, made his name on the international stage with Sleuth and Murderer,  his best murder thrillers. Murderer became a hit horror film as well. The play, Moordenaar, is a reworked translation into Afrikaans by Carel Nel en Nico Luwes for Drama and Theatre honours students’ practical examination. Luwes also directed the play in 1986 for PACOFS with Blaize Koch and Gerben Kamper portraying the murderer and the sergeant.  This bloody, physiological thriller is meant for audiences with hair on their teeth and a preference for horror stories. The play opens with probably the most blood chilling and macabre murder scenes in theatre history. The dramatist twits reality and illusion masterly and leaves the audience not only thrilled, but also confused. With the 1986 PACOFS production, audiences streamed to the show and a few faint hearted members ran out of the theatre after a few minutes of watching the blood and gore! Shaffer explores the true nature of murder and the strange fascination the deed holds for the murderer. The often strange connection between the murder and the victim is investigated in this fascinating drama where reality and illusion are brilliantly manipulated. The sergeant’s warning is clear. Avoid experimentation with macabre murder and sexual games. Fantasy can easily become reality. So be warned - Moordenaar is not for the faint hearted!
