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.

Hamlet is regarded as Shakespeare’s most famous play, and one of the great works of English in the canon. But it can also be a tortuous four hour’s worth of viewing! Now, thanks to playwright Tom Stoppard, Hamlet can be enjoyed without having to endure hours of self-reflection and lack of action. Dogg’s Hamlet is an offbeat comedy that makes fun of the ways we communicate – especially when trying to do so in different languages!

The University of the Free State’s Department of Drama and Theatre Arts brings this production to life on the Wynand Mouton stage with a subtle twist on traditional staging. Directors Dion van Niekerk and DeBeer Cloete have helped the department’s young and talented students to craft a performance that is both amusing and confusing. One thing is certain: Hamlet has never before been this much fun!

Dogg’s Hamlet performs on the Wynand Mouton stage from the 15th – 17th May at 19:30 and is about an hour long.

Tickets are available at Computicket.
