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.

An Evening of Popular Songs

with Elmarie Wiesner (soprano) & Nicol Viljoen (piano)
19 April 2012
Odeion
19:30

Elmarie Wiesner was born and raised in Bloemfontein. She completed her music studies in 1995 at the then UFS Department of Music and plays various instruments. She is well-known for her diverse voice skills, from choir to jazz and ensemble (e.g. Brilliant Cut). She found her place especially as songwriter in the gospel market with two CDs: Maan om die Aarde (2003) and Want ek Wil (2007). Both were produced and released by Louis Britz of Merchant Records. This fitted into her ministry dream: she completed her theology studies in 2000. She was inducted as minister of the Dutch Reformed Church Hugenoot in 2001. She has been minister of the Dutch Reformed Church Bloubergstrand since 2005, where contemporary church music forms part of her daily activities.

Nicol Viljoen, Head of the Odeion School of Music, will join Elmarie on stage in An Evening of Popular Songs. For the past 15 years, her musical friendship with Nicol Viljoen has been for her a source of happiness and has landed them together on several stages like the KKNK, the Volksblad Arts Festival, the Five Flies and Green Dolphin (Cape Town) as well as various theatre restaurants and sitting rooms with pianos. Well-known twentieth-century melodies are coloured by improvisation to create an accessible jazz experience.
