“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

 

Swanemeer, based on Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet “Swan Lake”, will be presented for the first time as a children’s play in Bloemfontein. With this performance of Swanemeer, the drama department at the University of the Free State attempts to make classical love stories accessible to children.

 

Karen Combrinck, who last year did the adaptation of Shakespeare’s ‘n Midsomernagdroom, this time adapted Swanemeer’s romantic love story of the beautiful Odette and her Prince, Prince Siegfried, into an exciting play which will delight young and old.

 

Swanemeer tells the story of Princess Odette who was turned into a swan by the jealous Sorceress Von Rothbart. Only a man with a pure heart and love for her, can break the spell by asking her to marry him. Odette and her swan friends are desperately searching for such a man who can conquer her heart and break the spell for ever.

 

Prince Siegfried, who is now 21 years of age, in turn is looking for a sweet girl with a good and loving heart whom he could make his wife. Sounds too good to be true? Well, true love’s way is never easy and there are many obstacles to overcome before Odette and Prince Siegfried can finally be together.

 

Swanemeer features a prince and princess, gorgeous swans, a spoilt brat, jealous sorceress and hysterical page, and the beautiful Fairy Queen. Set in a picture perfect forest, with astounding costumes, this fairy-like tale is a recipe for tons of excitement and enchantment. Don’t miss this opportunity to introduce the young (and everyone else!) to a classical work. Directed by Gerben and Marijda Kamper, it will be performed by drama students of the UFS from 27 – 29 August 2015. Tickets are available at Computicket.
