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.

Mr. Visser, a civil servant, is looking for Mr. Markgraaf, director of the A.B.A.V.B.-I.O.G.H.M. He needs his signature on a green purchase order so that he can requisite 50 litres eggshell paint. For him to be allowed to enter the spa “Die Sonneblom”, where Mr Markgraaf is taking a much needed rest-cure, he pretends to be the husband of the very famous trekker driver Klara Theron. At the same time Mrs. Du Plooy, the wife of the very well-known Professor De Kock, is also looking for Mr Markgraaf. She is in love with him and is very sure that he has the same feelings for her. She follows him to the spa in order to inform him that her husband knows of their affair and are on his way to the spa. When Klara, her husband Karel and the Prof. De Kock arrive at the spa, all hell breaks loose.

“Waar is Markgraaf?”is wonderful comedy full of misunderstandings, mistaken identities, crazy characters and loads of action. Original translation by Mariechen Naudè, directed by Thys Heydenrych (Onnies en Ouers). “Waar is Markgraaf?”is performed in the Wynand Mouton Theatre, 16 - 18 May at 19h30. Tickets available at Computicket.
