“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.

This concert is dedicated to Noel Stockton – legendary Jazz pianist who has established a wide reputation as a leading jazz arranger, composer, performer and teacher.

 

Marc Duby was born in Cape Town where he obtained a BA degree (majoring in English) from the University of Cape Town in 1975, having begun his professional career as electric and acoustic bassist in that city in 1972. He returned from overseas to begin musical studies at the University of Cape Town in 1980, culminating in the award of the first masters’ degree in jazz performance (cum laude) in South Africa (University of Natal, 1987) under the supervision of Prof Darius Brubeck. Duby completed his PhD thesis at the University of Pretoria in 2007 on the topic of Soundpainting - the framework for live composition developed by the New York composer / saxophonist Walter Thompson. Awarded established researcher status in 2010 by the National Research Foundation, he has presented papers at conferences in Brazil, England, Greece, India, Italy, Mexico, and the United States.

 

A prize-winning composer of film music, Marc Duby is active as a performer, composer/arranger, and music educator, and currently serves as research professor in musicology in the Department of Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology at UNISA. 

 

Viljoen, associate professor and acting Artistic Head of the Odeion School of Music (UFS), is the foremost expert of Schenkerian Analysis in South Africa and is a celebrated South African pianist.  Upon the release of his second CD, Transcendental Schubert, critic Paul Boekkooi remarked the following about Viljoen’s playing: “Viljoen se spel weerspieël Schubert se ander-wêreldse gevoel en intieme spiritualiteit en versoen die komponis se Klassieke én Romantiese inslag op ideale wyse”.
