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.

Pygmalion

The Department of Drama and Theatre Arts at UFS will be presenting a production of Pygmalion at the end of this month, in the Wynand Mouton Theatre, from 29-31 March, 19:30.

Pygmalion is one of English drama’s classic plays. Written by George Bernard Shaw in the early 1900s, the play is based on an ancient Greek myth in which a sculptor, Pygmalion, falls in love with one of his statues, which then comes to life.

In Shaw’s story, a professor of phonetics, Henry Higgins, takes a bet that he can train a poor flower girl to speak “proper” English, and pass her off as a duchess. Eliza Doolittle, the subject of this experiment, must learn to improve her manners, language and social skills. But what does she lose along the way?

Pygmalion is a gentle comedy that makes a statement about class structures and the role of women in society – it isn’t hard to draw parallels with South African social conditions. Shaw’s famous play was converted into a popular musical in the 1960s, and many people will recognize the story of Pygmalion in My Fair Lady.
