The British play Noises Off is bound to have you in stitches. Written by Michael Frayn, Noises Off can be considered a farce within a comedy and gives an inside look at all the antics of the theatre: the ups, downs, backstabbing, and relationships that form while a play is being produced and performed.

Noises Off follow a group of actors preparing for a cringe-worthy production called “Nothing-On.” What follows is on-stage misdirection, misunderstandings, doors that will not work, and props that aren’t there. Theatregoers are promised a glimpse of what happens backstage as the stage will literally turn. The actor’s best and worst sides are displayed, revealing their mysteries of trying to keep track of their newspapers, plants, lovers, missing cast members and a few plates of Sardines.

Noises Off will be featuring third-year students of the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts of the University of the Free State. Directed by Thys Heydenrych. It will be performed from 26 to 29 September 2018 at the Wynand Mouton Theatre, UFS campus, at 19:30. Tickets are available at Computicket.

This production is appreciated by an audience of age 15 and over because of a more … grown-up storyline.

The production is made possible with the support from Creative Kilowatt and Iewers Nice.

While feeling ill, Sussie’s friend Stefan, tries to cheer her up. Every time he brings her flowers, the Flower Fairies appear and whisper beautiful poems. The only problem is, Sussie can’t hear them: She doesn’t believe fairies exist, for how could she when there is a war and bad things happen every day?

Based on true events, the play Blommefeetjies tells the story of how Cecily Mary Barker created the popular “Flower Fairies” books. In the beginning of the previous century during the First World War, Cecily – still a child at that stage – started painting flower fairies and wrote poems about them. During the time, the British population grew so tired of the war that they started believing in the existence of fairies.

Blommefeetjies is a children’s play with the message that even in a world where bad things happen, children and adults alike, can still appreciate the beauty in small things. Or as Rose Fairy says: “Always believe in the beauty of life; something towards which we can strive”.

Blommefeetjies is the UFS Drama Department’s last children’s production of the year and will be performed from 13 – 16 September 2017 in the Rehearsal Room Theatre at the drama department.

Tickets cost R25 p.p. or R20 p.p. for groups of ten or more and are available at Computicket.
