“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.

2013’s Honours students of the Drama Department at the University of the Free State proudly presents one of the best comedies in Afrikaans namely: Bartho Smit 's Don Juan onder die boere, directed by Gerben Kamper .

Don Juan onder die boere (1958) would have been performed, under the author's direction, by NTO (National Theatre Organisation) for the opening of the Civic Theatre in Bloemfontein in 1959. The Bloemfontein Drama Committee however cancelled the performance of this production at the last minute because ‘the play would have been inappropriate for the opening event, presumably because of the castration scene (Smit. 1984:28)’.

It pokes fun at the domination of women over their husbands in a world where males think they are the cocks of the walk. Funfilled traditional Afrikaner entertainment where “man” becomes “mouse” and “mouse” becomes “man”!

As Uncle Tienie says: “We live in a woman’s world! Who brought you into this world? The woman. Who raised you? The woman.  And for what? To work for her, to dance to her tune, to help her to bring more men into the world to work for her and dance to her tune!!! "

Entertainment of the highest order!

Don Juan onder die boere will be performed in the Scaena Theatre from 7 - 9 November at 19h30
