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.

Children’s Theatre presented by the Department Drama and Theatre Arts, University of the Free State

Die popular children’s production, “Mielie-Maalie-Maantuig”, based on the television series from the 1980’s, is showing from the 11th to the 16th of March in the Scaena Rehearsal Room.

“Mielie-Maalie-Maantuig” is a comic story built around Uncle Jasper’s “moon rocket”, a gigantic corn cob, which transports Uncle Jasper and his niece, Hettie, to the moon where they meet colourful characters such as the Queen of Light and her arch enemy, King of Darkness.

On a technical level, this production does not disappoint. The audience is transported from a laboratory on earth, to the grey plains of the moon, complete with moon rocks and aliens.

The production was last performed in 2007. The script is written by Errol Ross. DeBeer Cloete, director of “Woesklip” and “Die Towenaar van Onderstebo land”, once more takes on the reigns of director.
