“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.

Kinderspeletjies, a psycho drama by Marietjie Pretorius which was adapted for the stage by Kobus Strydom, will be performed by second-year students of the Unversity of the Free State’s Drama Department, under the direction of Gerben Kamper.

 

It is the evening before schools re-open in January. Five sixteen-year old girls from different backgrounds and diverse domestic circumstances arrive in their room at the hostel: The new one, Kinna, was specifically placed among a group of girls as a result of behavioural problems she experiences while being the only child of an elderly couple. Big and sexy, Lettie is very much beauty-conscious. Vanessa is the loner from a broken home and Kobie a self-conscious introvert.

 

And then comes Mary, the arrogant extrovert who is used to always getting her way. The pedantic hostel mother completes the cast.

 

The given allows for an explosive situation which can all too easily get out of control because of the girls’ personal experiences of group pressure, manipulation, popularity and a yearning for acceptance.

 

The context is universal, the situation devastating.

 

It highlights the quest school girls experience to establish their own identities, which up to now have been formed by parents, teachers and a confused grown-up society.

 

Kinderspeletjies will be presented in the Scaena Theatre on the UFS campus on 13 – 15 May 2015 at 19:30. Please note the age restriction of 13 years.
