“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 Department Drama and Theatre Arts presents William Shakespeare's first great tragedy and one of his most beloved works, "Romeo & Juliet": A tale of young love thwarted by circumstance. It’s a timeless story of young passion caught between the feuding families of Capulet and Montague.

 

"Romeo & Juliet", written around 1594, has been capturing the imaginations of audiences for over 400 years. Two young lovers, caught in their families’ feud, take fate into their own hands and pursue their love. Missed chances, poor timing and mistakes prevent the lovers from finding happiness and this ensures a tragic end. Finally their families unite, in sorrow. Haunted by the sacrifice of their children they are reminded of the powerful force of love.

 

The drama department will present a fresh twist on Shakespeare's classic tale of star-crossed lovers. Set in a dystopian South Africa, “Romeo & Juliet” subtly comments on South Africa’s future: ESKOM is no more, society is divided into classes and ruled by a single leader. Is there room for forgiveness or, to use Romeo’s words, “What will it take to get over what happened in the past?”

 

This is the third Shakespeare production adapted and directed by Thys Heydenrych. “Romeo & Juliet” – this time in modern English – will be performed in the Wynand Mouton Theatre, 15 - 18 September 2015. Tickets are available at Computicket.
