Press Release

“Lyle the Crocodile” is the story of a friendly crocodile who turns up in a bathtub in an apartment in New York City’s Upper East Side. Lyle becomes good friends with the people in the building, except for Mr Grumps, who hates Lyle, parades, people, and pretty much everything. However, when Lyle rescues Mr Grumps and his cat Loretta from a fire, Mr Grumps has to apologize for the way he’s treated Lyle. In the end, Lyle helps those around him learn that they should not judge other by how different they appear to be, but to love people (and crocodiles) for what they are.

“Lyle the Crocodile” is based on the beloved character created by Bernard Waber.  The play was originally adapted by Kevin Kling in 1990 and since then has become a staple for children’s theatre production houses around the world including the United States and Britain.  The production is aimed at primary school learners, students and adults alike and the adaptation features eleven original songs composed by Richard Gray. 

This production opens the 2014 theatrical season at the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts at the University of the Free State and features second year drama students under the direction of DeBeer Cloete (The Monster Under my Bed).  Tickets are available through Computicket.  “Lyle the Crocodile” runs from 12 to 18 March at the Scaena Rehearsal Room on the University of the Free State Campus.  For bookings or further information, please contact the drama department on 051 401 2160 between 08:00 and 13:00 on weekdays.
