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.

Two into one

PLAYWRIGHT: RAY COONEY

DIRECTOR: THYS HEYDENRYCH

VENUE:  WYNAND MOUTON THEATRE

LANGUAGE: ENGLISH

 

Two Into One focuses on the infidelity of Richard Willey, a Minister of Parliament. On the day of voting on a bill that would outlaw pornography, everyone in Parliament is on their best behaviour - that is everyone except Mr Willey. While his colleagues prepare to debate, Willey is attempting to bed the Premier’s secretary in a Cape Town hotel, while his wife is seeing the matinée of Rocky Horror Picture Show. The only thing his personal private secretary George Pidgen has to do is book a hotel room for Willey to meet Jennifer. In typical Ray Cooney style the awkward George makes a series of disastrous mistakes. Throw in a brusque hotel manager, a member of the opposition party and an extremely nosey Afrikaans waiter, and extreme complications ensue in the two adjoining suites. The British play is given a South African flavour and some of our most prominent government officials get proper mentioning.

This hilarious Ray Cooney comedy will be performed by final year drama students of the Free State University in the Wynand Mouton Theatre. Directed by Thys Heydenrych.
