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.

Two into one

PLAYWRIGHT: RAY COONEY

DIRECTOR: THYS HEYDENRYCH

VENUE:  WYNAND MOUTON THEATRE

LANGUAGE: ENGLISH

 

Two Into One focuses on the infidelity of Richard Willey, a Minister of Parliament. On the day of voting on a bill that would outlaw pornography, everyone in Parliament is on their best behaviour - that is everyone except Mr Willey. While his colleagues prepare to debate, Willey is attempting to bed the Premier’s secretary in a Cape Town hotel, while his wife is seeing the matinée of Rocky Horror Picture Show. The only thing his personal private secretary George Pidgen has to do is book a hotel room for Willey to meet Jennifer. In typical Ray Cooney style the awkward George makes a series of disastrous mistakes. Throw in a brusque hotel manager, a member of the opposition party and an extremely nosey Afrikaans waiter, and extreme complications ensue in the two adjoining suites. The British play is given a South African flavour and some of our most prominent government officials get proper mentioning.

This hilarious Ray Cooney comedy will be performed by final year drama students of the Free State University in the Wynand Mouton Theatre. Directed by Thys Heydenrych.
