“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.

Classic Guitar Fantasy with CH2

Guitar Duo with Corneille Hutton & Dirkie van Staden

“Multi-award winning CH2 will blow you away with their style and virtuosity on two classical guitars!”

Now, in their 18th year as professional musicians, CH2 goes from strength to strength with Insomnia, their 11th album to date. One of the tracks on the album went to number seven on radio stations in Australia and enjoys worldwide radio play. This magical duo’s best claim to fame is achieving first place in the Worldwide Classical/Flamenco category in the Lee Ritenour Six String Theory International Guitar Competition, held in the USA. This is the single biggest, most prestigious, guitar competition in the world, covering all genres and styles of music on the six-stringed instrument, all competing in one arena. With their flawless, effortless technique and pulsating rhythms, they showcase what can be done on only two Classical guitars. CH2 is a proud member of the Grammy Foundation and will enter Insomnia in the next round of the Grammys. CH2 has won numerous awards over the years, with two SAMA (South African Music Award) awards for best instrumental/classical album. The SAMA is arguably the top music award in the whole of Africa. They’ve also won two Ghoema awards as well as a Geraas, Oscar and VryFees award respectively.

Corneille Hutten is a multi-award winning Classical soloist who founded CH2 18 years ago with the aim to introduce Classical guitar to a larger audience. As part of CH2, he was winner of numerous awards including the World Classical / Flamenco category in the 2011 Lee Ritenour Six String Theory International Guitar Competition and as a soloist, he has been awarded the overall first place in various Eisteddfods.

Dirkie van Staden is a multi-instrumentalist. His focus, however, is on Classical guitar on which he displays a unique and distinctive rhythmic style. Few guitarists can compare with his virtuoso nuevo-flamenco and Spanish Rasgueado technique. His rhythmic ingenuity has become one of the cornerstones of CH2’s unique sound. He enjoys conducting wind bands and has an honours degree (cum laude) in music education.
