SUPERSTICKY TONIGHT!

The idiosyncratic residents of the Kromhout unit have seen friends come and go…Last season saw the abrupt and mysterious disappearance of Melody, Zach’s now ex-girlfriend. Word has it that the relationship drove her mad…But there were new additions to the campus family; Harmony, Mel’s sister has come to school to take up her sister’s mantle, though it’s very difficult to say where her motivations lie. Lustrum Guy, the campus know-it-all comes and goes as he sees fit, predicting the ebbing tide of the community’s social theater. Luc and Senada, the resident first years, are in the timeless flux of orientring themselves amongst the chaos.

And amidst the confusion of a new year, a return visitor caused a comotion amongst the unitmates…Boris, the Russian mafioso returns from his “camp” to receive his new orders from a mysterious someone.

Revealed at the end of the last episode, it is the new Dean who has uncovered a threat to campus harmony and balance…a student, in Boris’ orders referred to as the Observer. Boris’ mission is to uncover and destroy the Observer, but who could it possibly be?

Tune in this week, Monday 23rd of February, 22:15 at the UCSA College Bar!

Overview of events:

Rudyard Kipling’s stage adaptation of his acclaimed Jungle Book series, written in 1899 and lost for a century, will be performed for the first time ever on Wednesday January 28 and Thursday January 29 at 19.30 in the Beach Party Area.

Mowgli, the Man-Cub, is saved from the scourge of the Jungle, the Lame Tiger Shere Khan, and raised among wolves.

When Akela, the head wolf who protected the young child, is dethroned, Mowgli is forced to fend for himself. He is cast out from the Jungle and finds a new life in the village, but he never forgets where he came from and what he must do.

A classic tale of growing up and moving out, The Jungle Play promises to bring you all the passion, excitement and wilderness of the original stories.

The show begins each night at 19.30 and ends at around 22.00.

‘The Jungle Play’, by Rudyard Kipling, is a play that was written over century ago and discovered only a few years ago. It follows the adventures of Mowgli, a human child raised by wolves, as he grows from cub to man. Written beautifully, it lends itself wonderfully to the stage. If you like the idea of running across the stage as a monkey, bear or tiger, you’ll love this play. It combines animals, humans, music and poetry to bring the Indian jungle to life. It was the subject of our first (and upcoming second) play reading, where it was very well received and we think it’ll make for a great project.

If you have any questions, concerns or simply want to write to tell us how excited you are about this, please do so to UCSA.DramaCo@uu.nl.

General Information

Last year, DramaCo presented novel entertainment in the form of the UCU Soap Opera “Super Sticky Surfaces”. Every two or three weeks the students are indulged in the up-close and personal dramas of fictional UCU go-ers and the drama that surrounds them. This has shown to be a great success and provides comic relief to our often stressed population while they relax and drink a beer in the bar.
