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.

“The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination” Don Williams, Jr. (American Novelist and Poet 1968).

In life we move into places and spaces, this places and spaces become our destinations or destiny. Sometimes we fight to belong, we lose or win become its fate. As we journey through life we accumulate experiences and acquire material belongings. Sometimes one stay in a place or phase is determined by material acquired during the period stayed, this halts one’s journey for in good or a bad way. Sometimes when we move me lose our material acquisitions. Life therefore becomes a process of moving and staying; this process involves accumulation and loss. However the journey is always remembered its positives and negatives. In this production, the journey through life is explored through a number of interrelated and independent stories. The stories explore the impact of the personal journeys, experiences, loss, gains and memories.

These stories are personal stories of the actors, which were gathered during the process of rehearsals, but it is also the personal journey of the directors Kingdom Moshounyane, as he confronts what he has learnt over the many years that he has been involved in the theatre. Kingdom confronts longstanding theatrical conventions as he embarks on journey of growth both as Scholar and a theatre-practitioner. The production is also the beginning of the journey for the two assistant’s directors Meschack Bunch Sekhobo and Alcapone Peterson. These two well known actors make their directorial debut in this production, as they begin to embark on their directing journey.
