(Evita Bezuidenhout aka Pieter-Dirk Uys!)
Hilton College Theatre will welcome
Pieter-Dirk Uys back to the heart of the Midlands for two shows, Adapt Or Fly on August 7 and An Evening With Evita Bezuidenhout on
August 8.
Adapt Or Fly (August 7): Pieter-Dirk Uys started his
one-man onslaught against politicians who should know better with Adapt or Dye in 1981. He is back at the
Hilton College Theatre with Adapt or Fly,
holding up the cracked mirror of satire to a 21 year-old democracy and using
humour as his weapon of “mass distraction”. After successful seasons in Cape
Town and Johannesburg and a run at the Soho Theatre in London, Uys is back with
his finger on the pulse of South Africa after an election that has already
introduced the colour red into our black and white rainbow. Juju will join
Evita, the gang of NP leaders and the cabal of ANC stalwarts in a show of
strength that will put a healthy perspective on our fears and worries.
An Evening With Evita Bezuidenhout (August 8): Come and spend some quality
time with the most famous white woman in South Africa, a legend in her own
lunchtime thanks to her cooking, an icon who can confront any aikona and share
with her the optimism and fearlessness that has made her one of the most
respected voices in our wilderness of free speech. "Come and enjoy the
blacks, whites, browns, yellows and 'others' that make up this unique country
of our dreams. As long as we can laugh at our fear, we are still in charge of
our future".
