“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.

This new allegorical play by Prof Nico Luwes, “Don’t shoot the messenger!” had its premiere on 26 and 26 March in the Wynand Mouton Theatre on the UFS campus. Thus, back by popular demand.

As part of the 200 year commemoration of Charles Darwin’s birth and the 150th year commemoration of his publication “The Origin of Species”, Darwin is confronted with ancient Greek knowledge in the form of the character, Ancienti Academicus. Were Darwin’s theories indeed original? Reli-Gious, representing Western religion comes into serious conflict with Darwin, the agnostic. In the fun play, Incense, appears from the blue and throws a spanner in the wheel with Eastern believes in Reincarnation and theories on the origin of life and the creation of Earth. The oldest, isolated nation is called in to bring some light on the matter and Original Aboriginal comes in to didgeridoo everything up further with her creation theories and Dreamtime. Off course Africa Nus is not impressed and tells the Africa tale on the origin of life on earth and how humans came to wander this earth. All the characters are manipulated by the Jester of the King about the core question: Can a religious person except and believe Darwin’s scientific theories? Or visa versa! Can a scientist except and believe the creation theory as it is written in the Bible? In this funny allegory, some-one will have to make the final decision, and you, the audience will be the Judge! The play was written with the support of the National Arts Council of South Africa and Nico Luwes directs the play. See you at The Wynand Mouton Theatre. Sparks will fly!
