“There once was a Velveteen Rabbit, and in the beginning, he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a Rabbit should be; and for at least an hour the Boy loved him”.

Hoe speelgoed regtig-egtig word is a brand-new theatre script from the pen of Karen Combrinck based on Margery Williams’ beloved tale of the Velveteen Rabbit.  The production tells the tale of a shy toy rabbit who wants nothing more than becoming real.  One day the toy rabbit ends up on a heap of Christmas gifts.  Along with the other toys, old and new, the velveteen rabbit goes on a journey of discovery during which he realizes that it is not what you can do or what you look like that matters, but that being loved by someone else makes you real. 

DeBeer Cloete (Bunnicula, Lyle the Crocodile and A monster under the bed) directs this production that showcases the talents of the second-year drama and theatre arts students. 

The production opens on Wednesday 19 September at the Rehearsal Room at the Scaena Theatre Complex on the UFS campus. 

Tickets are available through Computicket and are priced between R20 and R25. 

Showtimes are as follow:  19 - 21 September 11:00, 21 September 18:00 and 22 September 10:00 and 12:00.

Retelling Telemann's Tale

Retelling Telemann’s Tale...

With the Odeion Baroque Ensemble

12 November 2017

Odeion

16:00

The Odeion Baroque Ensemble presents this concert titled Retelling Telemann’s Tale... consisting of some of the most appealing works by Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767). This concert falls with the 250th anniversary of his death.

During the concert the Namibian/South African narrator, Dorian Haarhoff, will elucidate on Telemann’s life and works. Tenor Lance Phillip will perform two sacred solo cantatas with organ (one with oboe and one with recorder). A Trio Sonata with an extraordinary setting for harpsichord, oboe and organ will be included. This will be followed by a quartet for bassoon, oboe, violin and continuo - an exceptional work with beautiful bassoon solos.

The rest of the programme will consist of concertos. The Double Concerto for recorder and bassoon is probably one of the Telemann’s most popular works due to the skilful manner in which Telemann interweaved these two instruments’ parts. The Double Concerto for oboe and violin is seldom performed, because it is unfinished. This will be followed by the Violin Concerto in G minor and the programme will be appropriately concluded with a composition named Conclusion. Telemann named it as such because it is the last work in his series Tafelmusik. Conclusion is a short concerto for two recorders.

Members of the Odeion Baroque Ensemble include Maretha Krige (harpsichord), Petrus Krige (recorder), Kobus Malan (oboe & recorder), Brahm Henkins (bassoon), Elspeth Neary (violin), Tilla Henkins (cello), Lance Phillip (tenor & organ) and Francois Henkins (violin).
