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.

Children’s Theatre presented by the Department Drama and Theatre Arts, University of the Free State

Die popular children’s production, “Mielie-Maalie-Maantuig”, based on the television series from the 1980’s, is showing from the 11th to the 16th of March in the Scaena Rehearsal Room.

“Mielie-Maalie-Maantuig” is a comic story built around Uncle Jasper’s “moon rocket”, a gigantic corn cob, which transports Uncle Jasper and his niece, Hettie, to the moon where they meet colourful characters such as the Queen of Light and her arch enemy, King of Darkness.

On a technical level, this production does not disappoint. The audience is transported from a laboratory on earth, to the grey plains of the moon, complete with moon rocks and aliens.

The production was last performed in 2007. The script is written by Errol Ross. DeBeer Cloete, director of “Woesklip” and “Die Towenaar van Onderstebo land”, once more takes on the reigns of director.
