“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.

Is not easy to be ten years old boy:  especially if your mom is overly excited about the arrival of a Monday morning routine.  Or when your best friend steals your brand new binoculars, a parting gift from your father before he leaves to defend his country at war.  Or when you discover that a monster is living under your bed.   So Ben decides to switch places with the monster for a day resulting in his life, and his school, being turned upside down. 

“The Monster Under My Bed” was written by Kevin Dyer in 2008 and was first performed by the United Kingdom based Polka Theatre in 2009.  Dyer was awarded the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain’s New Writing Encouragement Award for this script in 2009.  The play has been described by the UK Guardian as “drawing with delicacy and wit upon the childhood fantasy of the monster under the bed . . . [and] proves why that endangered species, the original play for children, is worth saving.  This is a terrifically entertaining story about fathers and sons and the monster inside all of us”.  

“The Monster Under My Bed”, a second year module production aimed at 9 to 13 year olds, makes it’s South African premier at the University of the Free State’s Scaena Rehearsal Room under the direction of DeBeer Cloete on Wednesday the 13th of March at 10h00 and runs till Saturday the 16th.  Tickets are available through Computicket.  Remember to bring your imagination along for the ride!
