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.

Bodily prickliness, lost opportunities, mother-in-law’s and women who do not trust their husbands and all the other classical themes for comedies are thrown together in Die Graswewenaar. This comedy promises to be a mixture of confusion, slamming of doors and hormonal crises of a mischievous lecturer, his suspicious wife, naughty friend and Freaky Francis – the most flirtatious woman in the Free State.

Mix a conservative academic and a furious mother-in-law into the mixture and hours of fun awaits the audience.
Die Graswewenaar is made possible by the generous donation from the National Lottery Distribution Fund.
