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.

Press Release

Eight women find themselves caged in a house on an isolated farm in the Karoo, busy with preparations for a delightful Christmas on the farm. After the family patriarch is “murdered” it soon becomes clear that all of them – the “victim’s wife, sister, mother- and sister-in-laws, two daughters, as well as the two house workers – have a motive, a secret: Everyone is a suspect.

 

The original text, Huit femmes, written by Robert Thomas, was adapted in 2002 into a successful, musical, the dark comedy film, 8 femmes.

 

Agt vroue is a thriller-comedy with an unexpected twist. The actors in the play are all third year drama students.
