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.

Bach) from Runaway Bride; Meditation from Thaïs (Massenet) used in both Titanic and Hearlands; the Tango from Scent of a Woman.

Please note that members of the audience are not allowed to bring their own refreshments. A wide variety of eats and treats will be for sale at the venue, to provide a delicious picnic. Everything will be specially prepared by the Oude Kraal restaurant. Wine and other beverages will also be sold.
