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.

Description: Munich Brass Tags: Munich Brass“From the first note to the last, this was a fun, inspiring, engaging and quite simply brilliant concert.” 

(Gareth Harvey, What’s on in Cape Town)

 

After the five gentlemen of Harmonic Brass Munich’s visits to Bloemfontein in 2012 and 2014, concertgoers could not stop talking about the extraordinary and highly entertaining concerts they have been treated with.  The OSM could not let the chance go by to invite them to Bloemfontein with their next SA tour. 

 

Since 1991, the Harmonic Brass Munich has been renowned for its big, elegant brass sound.  Carnegie Hall (New York), Arts Center (Seoul), Leipzig Gewandhaus: the five gentlemen are welcomed and feel at home everywhere in the world. Harmonic Brass travels around the globe playing around 120 concerts a year with different programmes.  An ensemble that spreads good humor: meticulous filing at their performances combined with baroque joie de vivre and serious musical works alternating with giggling boyishness. Five individuals, who couldn't be more unique, melt into a remarkable unity on stage.  Harmonic Brass is supported by an incredibly large number of fans.  Representing the Goethe Institute, Harmonic Brass has been a cultural ambassador all over the world since 2000 and the musicians from Munich also present numerous international workshops.  Anyone who has been to a Harmonic Brass concert knows what the Süddeutsche Zeitung means when writing about an ensemble that "… with its glamorous-virtuous way of performing is one of the best of its kind worldwide."

 

The members of the group have changed since their last visit.  Gergely Lukács has left the group and a lady, Elisabeth Fessler, has succeeded him.

 

Hans Zellner (trumpet) studied with Prof Lachenmaier, Rolf Quinque and Wolfgang Guggenberger at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich as well as the Hochschule für Musik und Theater (also in Munich).
