“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.

The year is 1992; the play takes place in Soweto, South Africa. It was during this time the pitched battle broke out between the ANC supporters and the rival Zulu based Inkatha party. Some houses were firebombed; while guns, knives and sticks were used by Zulu’s to get control of townships in the east of Johannesburg. Ironically, it is the imaginary world of soapies that brings hope to what seemed to be a doomed South Africa.

So, What’s New? is a comedy based on three vivacious women and one rather inquisitive teenage girl. Here, the audience witness conversations that take place in a household that “appears to make people forget about their troubles”. Fatima Dike lays bare the souls of these women. Their fears, worries and stories of successes can easily resonate with anyone from any part of the world.

This hilarious play is a reminder that life still has to go on even during the darkest times.
