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.

Hamlet is regarded as Shakespeare’s most famous play, and one of the great works of English in the canon. But it can also be a tortuous four hour’s worth of viewing! Now, thanks to playwright Tom Stoppard, Hamlet can be enjoyed without having to endure hours of self-reflection and lack of action. Dogg’s Hamlet is an offbeat comedy that makes fun of the ways we communicate – especially when trying to do so in different languages!

The University of the Free State’s Department of Drama and Theatre Arts brings this production to life on the Wynand Mouton stage with a subtle twist on traditional staging. Directors Dion van Niekerk and DeBeer Cloete have helped the department’s young and talented students to craft a performance that is both amusing and confusing. One thing is certain: Hamlet has never before been this much fun!

Dogg’s Hamlet performs on the Wynand Mouton stage from the 15th – 17th May at 19:30 and is about an hour long.

Tickets are available at Computicket.
