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.

Bartho Smit writes: Putsonderwater “. . . is an attempt to portray the Western people’s religious crises. Anyone who sees it as an attack on the church or the Christian religion interprets the play incorrectly.”  This controversial play tells about Maria, who lives with her father on the small town of Putsonderwater.

Putsonderwater is made possible by the generous donation from the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
