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.

S11(self) is the runner-up of the Nagtegaal-prize for newly written scripts. This text shows the vulnerability of the human-soul. Alet, a patient in a psychiatric hospital, who in her quest to find inner-peace, struggles to come to terms with her past, present and future. Her ex-husband, Karel, and the nurse, Hermien helps her through her process of recovery. But it is in ward 11 where she finally makes peace with the traumatic events that happened to her 15 years ago. A heart-breaking portrayal of what it truly means to be human, something that no one can leave untouched.

The text is written by Leon Kruger and was published in the Nagtegaal -script prize of 2009 by JOHO! Daleen Kruger’s Draadwerk was one of the other scripts that also received a prize.
 

S11 (self) is made possible by the generous donation from the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
