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.

We are all connected to each other in some way, but just how deep are these connections really?

When Arthur Schnitzler presented his play La Ronde in 1920, the play sent shockwaves through Europe. It was considered an immoral and inappropriate piece of theatre, mainly because of its sexual themes. But it has continued to fascinate audiences well into the twenty-first century because of Schnitzler’s excellent treatment of class difference and social hypocrisy.

La Ronde has now found its way to Bloemfontein, in a new adaptation by the advanced acting students of the UFS Department of Drama and Theatre Arts. In this version, entitled Around, the play has been re-written to reflect a contemporary South African society. Familiar characters take the stage, be it the local butcher, the reverend’s wife, a model or a taxi-driver, and all reveal themselves to be a part of a never-ending cycle of sex, addiction and power.

Around has been conceived and developed by the students under the watchful supervision of Dion van Niekerk and DeBeer Cloete. It can be seen at the Scaena Rehearsal Room Theatre from the 28 – 30 November at 19:30.

The play has a 16+ age restriction.

Bookings can be made through Computicket.
