Theatre: Rehearsal Room
Language: Afrikaans
Dates: 21-23 August 2013

The horrible western tempest, known for blowing aunties dresses in the air and exposing old men’s bald spots, blows Dorothy to the centre of Oz. For her to return home, she’ll have to visit the wonderful wizard of Oz. He is unbelievably mysterious, wonderfully indescribable, almightily magical, and also the only one that will be able to send Dorothy home. Joining her is the smart Scarecrow, looking for a brain, the lovable Tinman, desiring a heart, and the brave Lion, looking for courage. What follows is an unforgettably exciting adventure through the fun and sad, the good and the bad, the bright, the dark, the friendly and the colourful Oz.

Second-year Drama students, directed by Walter Strydom (of Boer Manie-fame) and Fiësta-nominated Marli van der Bijl (Sêra Sakboude and Liewe Heksie), will take children of all ages on an unforgettable journey through Karen Combrinck’s fresh Afrikaans adaptation of the classical Oz. Follow Dorothy on the Yellow Brick road, think along with the Scarecrow, sympathise with the Tinman, and be brave along with the Lion to be victorious against the Wicked Witch of the West.
