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.

Handel's Messiah (21-22 April) Test

Description: ' Arts Diary Messiah Tags: Arts Diary Messiah 

Messiah
An Oratorio by Handel presented by Alumni Voices and the Odeion School of Music
21 & 22 April 2017
Odeion
19:30

The Messiah is an oratorio composed in 1741 by Georg Friedrich Händel.  It was first performed in 1742 and became one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music. The performances of this magnificent oratorio will take place shortly after Easter.

The text of the oratorio is an extended reflection on Jesus Christ as the Messiah.  It begins in Part I with prophecies by Isaiah and others, and moves to the annunciation to the shepherds, the only “scene” taken from the Gospels.  In Part II Handel concentrates on the Passion and ends with the “Hallelujah” chorus. In Part III he covers the resurrection of the dead and Christ’s glorification in heaven.

Alumni Voices will be directed by Leona Geldenhuys with soloists Emily Dangwa (soprano), Teresa de Wit (alto), Albertus Engelbrecht (tenor)  and  Yonwaba Mbo (bass).  The orchestra will include the Odeion String Quartet, Jan Beukes (harpsichord) and Eljee du Plooy (organ).
