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 UFS Department of Music presents this special concert as a conclusion to the commemoration of Haydn’s death 200 years ago.

During Haydn’s first visit to London in 1791, he befriended two charming widows who were well placed in the social scene of the day. The first, Anne Hunter, was a poet whose poems reflect early Romantic sentiments and were set to music by Haydn. The second was Rebecca Schroeter, an independent woman of musical taste and talent who became Haydn’s “dearest love”.

This concert is a performance of the Anne Hunter Songs given by the soprano Deirdré Blignaut with John Reid Coulter playing the fortepiano. The narrator, Anna Stoddard interweaves the story of Haydn’s love affair into the programme, revealing more of the unconventional life of Rebecca Schroeter and the scandalous atmosphere of Georgian London.
