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

 

Swanemeer, based on Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet “Swan Lake”, will be presented for the first time as a children’s play in Bloemfontein. With this performance of Swanemeer, the drama department at the University of the Free State attempts to make classical love stories accessible to children.

 

Karen Combrinck, who last year did the adaptation of Shakespeare’s ‘n Midsomernagdroom, this time adapted Swanemeer’s romantic love story of the beautiful Odette and her Prince, Prince Siegfried, into an exciting play which will delight young and old.

 

Swanemeer tells the story of Princess Odette who was turned into a swan by the jealous Sorceress Von Rothbart. Only a man with a pure heart and love for her, can break the spell by asking her to marry him. Odette and her swan friends are desperately searching for such a man who can conquer her heart and break the spell for ever.

 

Prince Siegfried, who is now 21 years of age, in turn is looking for a sweet girl with a good and loving heart whom he could make his wife. Sounds too good to be true? Well, true love’s way is never easy and there are many obstacles to overcome before Odette and Prince Siegfried can finally be together.

 

Swanemeer features a prince and princess, gorgeous swans, a spoilt brat, jealous sorceress and hysterical page, and the beautiful Fairy Queen. Set in a picture perfect forest, with astounding costumes, this fairy-like tale is a recipe for tons of excitement and enchantment. Don’t miss this opportunity to introduce the young (and everyone else!) to a classical work. Directed by Gerben and Marijda Kamper, it will be performed by drama students of the UFS from 27 – 29 August 2015. Tickets are available at Computicket.
