Master
satirist, Pieter-Dirk Uys has prepared four hours of performance choices to
present nightly in his new show, An
Audience with Pieter-Dirk EISH! which comes to the Elizabeth Sneddon
Theatre from February 26.
In our
world of reality TV, breaking news, 400 television channels to surf through,
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and SMS, choice has become the cherry on the cake of
entertainment.
Every
night a different show of 90 minutes, because the audience decides what they
want. It could be Evita Bezuidenhout as a new ANC cadre, or Nowell Fine
celebrating 40 years in the public eye. Maybe a Malema in Gucci or chains, some
Zumas married or not, one or two Mandelas, a Tutu, a PW or a Pik? What about
Mother Theresa making sure that Jesus will only return if the ANC stays in
power? Even a chorus line of former NP leaders chanting the old national
anthem. A virtual Ha-Ha-History Channel.
With the
choice of 15 boxes on stage, a member of the audience chooses a number. Out
come characters and entertainment that could be either a drama, a comedy, a
farce or a shocking expose. Every box holds a familiar secret! Every laugh
truly South African!
An Audience with Pieter-Dirk EISH! Runs at the Elizabeth Sneddon
Theatre from February 26 to March 10 with performances from Tuesdays to
Saturdays at 20h00 (Sundays at 15h00) Tickets R140 booked through Computicket.
