“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

Babbelkous en Bruidegom is one of the third year productions produced by the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts of the University of The Free State.

The play Babbelkous en Bruidegom, or as in the original French “La Perruche et Le Poulet”, is a thriller comedy. It tells the story of a blabber-mouth receptionist that adores investigation stories and murder films. She is convinced that her boss is murdered and notifies the police. A feverish Captain Greyling is called in to investigate the matter, but only gets confused by the all-knowing receptionist. Jeandré Oosthuizen plays the role of the captain and Nelien Smith the receptionist. With amazing performances from all the students, witty dialogue and profound directing, Babbelkous en Bruidegom is a must-see production.

The original script is written by Robert Thomas and is translated to Afrikaans by Anna Neethling-Pohl. Dr Pieter Venter is responsible for the directing. Babbelkous en Bruidegom will be showing at the Wynand Mouton Theatre from 15 – 17 April, 19:30.
