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.

Wiley lives in a swamp with his conjure woman mother, his hound dog, and the Hairy Man who haunts Wiley’s dreams. Wiley, as a test of courage, must face the Hairy Man on his own. Without the use of magic, he is left to rely solely on his wits... as the dark swamp around him comes alive. The tale has been passed down from generation to generation and has taken many forms from a legend set down by Donnel van de Voot in a manuscript of the Federal Writer’s Project of Alabama to the recent book by Molly Garret Bang. This scripted version has a slightly different version with a new ending. It is an award- winning play which teaches all of us that courage and imagination are often the best weapons in overcoming childhood fears.

This production is suitable for ages 9 years and older. Younger kids might get frightened.

“Wiley and the Hairy Man” performs in the Scaena Theatre. Tickets available at Computicket.
