WIN: the chance to watch Pieter-Dirk Uys in action!
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!...
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 Bezuidenhoutas a new ANC cadre, or Nowell Fine celebrating forty 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 fifteen 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!
Meet those in our Rainbow Nation who will help us laugh at our fear of an unchartered future. Pieter-Dirk Uys presents a celebration of free speech, an orgy of laughing at sacred cows, an embrace of being in a relatively healthy young democracy. Come and enjoy it all while it lasts. A different show each night, depending on the choices of the audience, might force future thought-police to buy tickets for each show, just in case a State Secret is let out of a box!
An Audience with Pieter-Dirk EISH! runs at Durban’s Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from 26 February to 10 March. Tickets via Computicket cost R140 throughout the season.
WIN! WIN! WIN!
