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.

PRESS RELEASE:

The Department of Drama and Theatre Arts at the University of the Free State, proudly presents Pieter Scholtz’s play: the amazing adventures of tambootie the puppet, directed by Gerben Kamper. This children’s production deals ultimately with the imagination. It celebrates the imagination’s power to bring a beloved puppet to life! Puppets come to life? Of course! A dog who can only speak Afrikaans? Naturally! A villainous circus boss, ready to crook everybody? Absolutely! A police-man who is a clown? Without a doubt!

In this dazzlingly charming child’s play, the stage is a circus, based, perhaps, on a single but prolific idea, namely “All the world’s a circus and we all have our parts to play”.

Come and be part of the circus at the Rehearsal Room on campus at the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts from 16 – 19 May 2012
