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.

In the play Moeders en Dogters we are confronted by the riots of 1976 – or is it 2016? South Africa is in uproar, universities are burning and closed, partly because of strikes against Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in institutions. Moeders en Dogters, written by Corlia Fourie in 1986, is a moving drama about an African family, a mother and her three daughters that starts the day of the father's funeral. The problems of a small family are juxtaposed against the outside world, South Africa. The interpersonal relationship between the sisters, the sisters and their mother, and with Susie, their domestic worker with her emotional story, make us aware of the fact that all mothers and daughters have the same dreams and problems.
