Evita Se Perron

Pieter-Dirk Uys presents a celebration of free speech, laughing at sacred cows. He presents ten numbered Boxes. The audience will choose a Box and out of that Box will appear a familiar character, a typical situation or a famous politically-incorrect democratically-elected politician. Like a 'Pic-a-Box'/ Kies-'n-Doos'! Come and take your pick: something old, something new, something shocking: all for you!

Ticket Price: R250 per person

Pieter-Dirk Uys has taken South Africa by storm with his provocative and deeply personal memoir The Echo of a Noise.

It is a story that aches to be heard and Uys knows how to keep his audiences on the very edge of their seats waiting to hear about the great influences in his life: his father Hannes Uys and mother Helga Bassel, and of course his unlikely pen friend, the beautiful Sophia Loren. Audiences are given the opportunity to celebrate a life well lived in all its emotional states. Uys has played to full houses and sold out seasons. His masterful story telling, wit and wisdom are generously shared. As with so many of his performances he takes his audiences into his confidence, breaks the rules and crosses boundaries.

Since the moment he first stepped on stage in the 1970s, Uys has been a voice where others have demanded silence. Jokes about the censor board being his own personal public relations department, gently disguise the reality that each time he tread the boards, he crossed lines and stepped on quite dangerous toes. He has always used humour as a “weapon of mass distraction” and describes the laughter he evoked as a relief from the fears that shaped South African society in 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.

The most famous white woman in South Africa is now 90, always ten years older than her imposter. She has been in the public domain since 1981 when she, as South African Ambassador to Bapetikosweti, caught the public's ear and eye. She has experienced the dramas of the National Party's chalk becoming the ANC's cheese.

Still in her Luthuli House kitchen Tannie Evita shares her opinions of 30 years of ANC rule. She doesn't need a crystal ball to see what is happening to South Africa. The future of our country is certain; it's just the past that's unpredictable. Evita will prove that once again, as she brings needed humour into our present democratic wilderness.
