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

Babbelkous en Bruidegom is one of the third year productions produced by the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts of the University of The Free State.

The play Babbelkous en Bruidegom, or as in the original French “La Perruche et Le Poulet”, is a thriller comedy. It tells the story of a blabber-mouth receptionist that adores investigation stories and murder films. She is convinced that her boss is murdered and notifies the police. A feverish Captain Greyling is called in to investigate the matter, but only gets confused by the all-knowing receptionist. Jeandré Oosthuizen plays the role of the captain and Nelien Smith the receptionist. With amazing performances from all the students, witty dialogue and profound directing, Babbelkous en Bruidegom is a must-see production.

The original script is written by Robert Thomas and is translated to Afrikaans by Anna Neethling-Pohl. Dr Pieter Venter is responsible for the directing. Babbelkous en Bruidegom will be showing at the Wynand Mouton Theatre from 15 – 17 April, 19:30.
