“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.

Coppélia en die Poppemaker

A cranky old doll maker and his cheeky, talking dolls, two lovebirds and a beautiful girl are but some of the characters you’ll meet in Coppélia en die Poppemaker. This children’s production by the drama department of the University of the Free State (UFS) is based on the story of the famous ballet Coppélia, but is actually a play suited for children of all ages.

Franz and Swanhilde are about to get married when Franz sees a beautiful girl in the window of the doll maker’s workshop. Everyone is scared of the weird doll maker, Dr Coppélius. When Swanhilde and her friends break into his workshop to find out more about the pretty girl and he catches them red-handed, the workshop literally comes alive.

In this enjoyable play, children will learn more about love: Not only romantic love, but love between friends and loving those who are “different”.

Coppélia en die Poppemaker is the latest children’s play based on a classical work under the direction of Marijda Kamper (known for Midsomernagdroom and Swanemeer). This time she is assisted by Ané van den Berg, while second year drama students will be performing.

Coppélia en die Poppemaker will be presented in the Rehearsal Room on the UFS campus on 2 and 3 September, as well as 8 to 10 September 2016. Tickets are available from Computicket.
