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.

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 Department Drama and Theatre Arts presents William Shakespeare's first great tragedy and one of his most beloved works, "Romeo & Juliet": A tale of young love thwarted by circumstance. It’s a timeless story of young passion caught between the feuding families of Capulet and Montague.

 

"Romeo & Juliet", written around 1594, has been capturing the imaginations of audiences for over 400 years. Two young lovers, caught in their families’ feud, take fate into their own hands and pursue their love. Missed chances, poor timing and mistakes prevent the lovers from finding happiness and this ensures a tragic end. Finally their families unite, in sorrow. Haunted by the sacrifice of their children they are reminded of the powerful force of love.

 

The drama department will present a fresh twist on Shakespeare's classic tale of star-crossed lovers. Set in a dystopian South Africa, “Romeo & Juliet” subtly comments on South Africa’s future: ESKOM is no more, society is divided into classes and ruled by a single leader. Is there room for forgiveness or, to use Romeo’s words, “What will it take to get over what happened in the past?”

 

This is the third Shakespeare production adapted and directed by Thys Heydenrych. “Romeo & Juliet” – this time in modern English – will be performed in the Wynand Mouton Theatre, 15 - 18 September 2015. Tickets are available at Computicket.
