“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.

Press Release

“Kastreer” brings hope?

It was a warm summer night about three million years ago in Southern Africa when our earliest human ancestor first came down from the tree, by accident. Since then the southern tip of the African continent has seen ages of crazy regimes, maniacal people and suppressive wars. Today we face 20 years of democracy with an inherent pessimism in not only our government, but also each other. Where will our saviour come from?

In the words of some of South Africa's leading writers for the theatre, eight final year students of the UFS Department of Drama and Theatre Arts create a voice for themselves in the setting of a chaotic, yet realistic classroom. Unsentimental and without any excuses, the state of the South African psyche – especially that of the youth –is examined: An investigation into the South African’s ape-man mentality – here and abroad.

Pieter-Dirk Uys’sVan Aardes van Grootoor, P.G. du Plessis’sNag van Legio, André P. Brink’sDie Jogger, as well as Bartho Smit’sDie Keiser and Reza de Wet’sAfrican Gothic,form part of the rich theatrical history unearthed by this new generation in their sardonic search for solutions. Dear audience, prepare yourself to remember: A teacher is there to scold, part of our confused youth, is to comply.

With directors Walter Strydom and Helet the Wet (creators of VREK, winner of BesteKopskuifstuk duringVryfees 2013), you can be assured of not only cutting commentary, but also an evening of hilarious entertainment with glaring moments of truth.

Just maybe you will find an answer in the UFS Scaena Theatre as to why the monkey fell off his little twig in the first place.
