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.

Coppélia en die Poppemaker

A cranky old doll maker and his cheeky, talking dolls, two lovebirds and a beautiful girl are but some of the characters you’ll meet in Coppélia en die Poppemaker. This children’s production by the drama department of the University of the Free State (UFS) is based on the story of the famous ballet Coppélia, but is actually a play suited for children of all ages.

Franz and Swanhilde are about to get married when Franz sees a beautiful girl in the window of the doll maker’s workshop. Everyone is scared of the weird doll maker, Dr Coppélius. When Swanhilde and her friends break into his workshop to find out more about the pretty girl and he catches them red-handed, the workshop literally comes alive.

In this enjoyable play, children will learn more about love: Not only romantic love, but love between friends and loving those who are “different”.

Coppélia en die Poppemaker is the latest children’s play based on a classical work under the direction of Marijda Kamper (known for Midsomernagdroom and Swanemeer). This time she is assisted by Ané van den Berg, while second year drama students will be performing.

Coppélia en die Poppemaker will be presented in the Rehearsal Room on the UFS campus on 2 and 3 September, as well as 8 to 10 September 2016. Tickets are available from Computicket.
