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.

Emma Lawrence is not your average 13-year-old girl.  Besides growing up in a single parent home, she is a budding young astronaut, and one of an elite crew known as the Space Unicorns. When Commander Jerry Hooblabak from the 17th Company of  Oodenak appears at her window to commandeer her on a quest to save the universe from the evil Prometheus and his son Deucalion, an adventure like no other awaits. Will Emma, Benson (Emma’s dog) and Jerry be able to retrieve the mystical Sword of Hercules?  Will Prometheus and Deucalion be able to stop them?  Grab your space helmet and prepare for the greatest space adventure this side of Saturn.
