The Bald Diva

A typical English family: a typical English husband; a typical English wife, and a typical English home – except for the grandfather clock that strikes any number of times whenever it feels like it! How odd! And why are all the family friends named Bobby Watson?

Not much makes sense in Eugene Ionesco’s acclaimed play, The Bald Diva, but that’s half the fun. A French maid, a fireman and two very confused dinner guests all turn a “typical” English evening into an experience that no-one is likely to forget soon.

The Bald Diva is an hour-long romp through the absurdity of language, English tradition and strained marital relationships. Directed by Dion van Niekerk, and starring a bunch of highly talented students, this classic masterpiece is not to be missed!

The Bald Diva will be playing at the University of the Free State’s Scaena theatre from the 24th to the 26th May at 19:30pm. Tickets are available at Computicket.

Ipi Zombie? was written and produced by South African playwright Brett Bailey in 1998 and was presented at the Grahamstown Festival. It is a surrealistic treatment of the outbreak of witchcraft hysteria which broke out in Kokstad after twelve boys had been killed in minivan crash. Some of the piece is drawn from sacred shamanic Xhosa ceremonies which Bailey studied extensively. The play attempts to examine how terrible fears and bereavement can become an evil force, how people struggle against or are seduced by this force, and how wishing to remain an unaffected spectator at such scenes of affliction raises its own moral questions. The UFS Drama Department performance directed by visiting professor Charles Dumas consists of nine multicural student actors playing multiple roles
