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.

Drama enthusiasts can look forward to an excellent Afrikaans adaptation of Paul Zindel’s “The Effect of Gamma Ray on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds”. The University of the Free State’s 2nd year drama students take on the challenge of performing this production directed by Dr Pieter Venter. The production will be showing in the Scaena Rehearsal Room from the 25th to the 27th of September. The play is centred around a dysfunctional family: Tillie, one of the daughters, is fascinated with the smallest building blocks of physical reality, the atom and she struggles to find her place in a home ruled by a self-centred mother, Beatrice and her sister Ruth, who attempts to stand up to the oppressing family matriarch. These conditions create the backdrop for the intrigue and unravelling of the events.
