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.

Following in the footsteps of the highly successful “Twist in the Tale” and “The Grinch”, the dept. Drama and Theatre Arts once again presents a delightful children’s word production which transports the young audience to the animal park where they are introduced to animals big and small. 

This time, the works of Roald Dahl and Phillip de Vos are used in conjunction with music and dance to transport young and old to the magical kingdom of the animals.  Porcupine, frogs and even flies and a zebra or two come to the fore in this bi-lingual production.  The actors seldom get a chance to sit still and if they do, it is only to prepare for the next surprise around the corner.

“Wilder than the Animal Park” will be showing from the 20th of March through to the 25th at the Scaena Theatre’s Rehearsal Room.  Bookings can be done through Computicket. Tickets are R 20.00 per person and R 15.00 for block bookings of 10 or more people.
