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.

“Formidable…dizzying…magical.” These words of New York reviewer Harris Goldsmith vividly illustrate pianist Petronel Malan's uniquely captivating style. Indeed, as a multiple Grammy® nominee and gold medalist of several international piano competitions, Petronel continues to enthrall audiences worldwide.  Her critical acclaim culminated in the nomination of three Grammy® awards, including “Best Instrumental Solo Album” for her debut disc, Transfigured Bach. As an exclusive recording artist for Hänssler Classic, Transfigured Mozart (2006) and Transfigured Beethoven (2008) followed to great critical acclaim. Transfigured Tchaikovsky (2012) was awarded "The American Prize of Excellence in the Arts”. Her latest album, Transfigured Brahms, was released in September 2015. 

Petronel maintains a full performance schedule as recitalist, orchestral soloist and chamber musician in major venues throughout the world.   Her career was launched following five gold medals in 2000 at international piano competitions throughout the United States (the Louise McMahon, Missouri Southern, Los Angeles Liszt Budapest Concert and Hilton Head International Piano Competitions). She also garnered the grand prize in the 2000 Web Concert Hall Competition and gold medals in both the Grace Welsh Piano Competition and the Young Texas Artist Award.

Born in South Africa, Petronel studied with Adolph Hallis, Joseph Stanford and Albie van Schalkwyk. She debuted with the Johannesburg Symphony Orchestra at age ten and subsequently won all major national competitions. She moved to the USA where she completed both her degrees at the University of North Texas with teachers Steven de Groote, Ralph Votapek, Joseph Banowetz and Earl Wild.

Petronel received the “Rapport/City Press Prestige Award” as one of the “10 Most Inspirational Women in South Africa”. She was awarded both a KKNK “Kanna” and a KykNET “Fiesta” award for her live performances in South Africa.
