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.

The settlement of a new colony at the Southern point of Africa at the beginning of the 18th century is exposed to vicious inherent struggles, uprisings and political turmoil. Willem Adriaan van der Stel is the Governor of the Cape and Adam Tas is in the Castle’s dungeon. His son passed away and the community is up in arms. This situation leads to various events which creates an unpredictable atmosphere within the community.

This one-act is a finely nuanced, character-driven play with beautiful moments of angst, pathos and bravery. Die Arrestasie will be performed in the Wynand Mouton Theatre on 25 and 27 October at 18:00 and on the 26th at 19:30. For more information contact 051 401 2160 between 08:00 and 13:00.
