“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.

FAMILIEST(R)EKE is set in Rosekrans hospital, containing the usual mixture of farcical nuts running in and out of doors mistaking everybody for someone else. Dr David Mortimore is about to address a neurologists' convention, which will probably earn him an honorary professoriate. While preparing the final touches to his speech an old co-worker, Jane Tate, arrives and announces that their slight indiscretion years ago resulted in a son, Leslie, who is downstairs at reception desperate to meet his dad.

 

Desperate to hide this catastrophic news from his wife, he is forced to invent not one but two non-existent husbands for Jane and enlist the help of his colleague Dr. Hubert Aucamp. Further complications arise with the presence of a police sergeant, a wandering senile patient, a syringe full of tranquillizer, Dr. Mortimore’s wife, a drugged hospital Matron, Dr. Aucamp’s mother and costumes for the annual hospital pantomime!

This hilarious farce is an Afrikaans translation of Ray Cooney’s “IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY”. FAMILIEST(R)EKE is farce at its best, spinning deliriously out of control and tickling the funny bones, in the true Cooney tradition.
