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.

The story is portrayed against the South African landscape as seen through the eyes of a child, the child being South Africa as a young democracy.

 

In Tears we witness how the thoughts of nine characters representing different spheres of society erupt from their experiences and their feelings result in tears. The play takes us through a journey of understanding what they feel and cry for, whether they are tears of joy  or tears of sadness. Wrapped around their feelings are the core hints of sexual frustration, political power, education, racial suggestions, loss, hopelessness and secrets. The heaviness of this eruption has a rippling effect on the whole country, for what the child experiences in his childhood, influences and changes his perception of the country.
