“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.

The British playwright, Anthony Shaffer, made his name on the international stage with Sleuth and Murderer,  his best murder thrillers. Murderer became a hit horror film as well. The play, Moordenaar, is a reworked translation into Afrikaans by Carel Nel en Nico Luwes for Drama and Theatre honours students’ practical examination. Luwes also directed the play in 1986 for PACOFS with Blaize Koch and Gerben Kamper portraying the murderer and the sergeant.  This bloody, physiological thriller is meant for audiences with hair on their teeth and a preference for horror stories. The play opens with probably the most blood chilling and macabre murder scenes in theatre history. The dramatist twits reality and illusion masterly and leaves the audience not only thrilled, but also confused. With the 1986 PACOFS production, audiences streamed to the show and a few faint hearted members ran out of the theatre after a few minutes of watching the blood and gore! Shaffer explores the true nature of murder and the strange fascination the deed holds for the murderer. The often strange connection between the murder and the victim is investigated in this fascinating drama where reality and illusion are brilliantly manipulated. The sergeant’s warning is clear. Avoid experimentation with macabre murder and sexual games. Fantasy can easily become reality. So be warned - Moordenaar is not for the faint hearted!
