PIETER-DIRK Uys is bringing his new show to Durban and Pietermaritzburg soon – and this site has three double tickets to give away to attend the 7.30pm opening performance at Durban’s Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre on November 1. Details on how to enter appear at the end of this story.
When in Doubt, Say Darling! will be presented at the Hexagon Theatre in Pietermaritzburg on October30 and 31, and again on November 6 and 7. It can be seen at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre, on Durban’s UKZN campus, on November 1, 2 ,3, 4 and again on November 8 ,9, 10 and 11.
Billed as “a new entertainment with Pieter-Dirk Uys… and other darlings” the production will arrive in KwaZulu-Natal after a sold-out season at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Studio and the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town.
Sometimes politics repeats itself, not only taking history and turning it into farce, but taking farce and turning into the fake news which is now called entertainment.
In his new show, Uys sorts out 40 years of distress, disguise and disgust: from apartheid to tripartite, from amandla to Nkandla – and happily back to amandla. Expect wigs, glasses, wagging fingers, toyi-toyis and red berets, as well as trump cards of madness, icons and aikona. The Bezuidenhouts, Raubenheimers and Ramaphosas are all there. Even a touch of Altzheimer’s.
The production has PW Botha impersonating Jacob Zuma. Patrons will also witness Dr Piet Koornhof solve the Brexit stand-off! And one can celebrate the appearances of Angela Merkel, Theresa May, Nowell Fine and Evita Bezuidenhou.
Booking is at Computicket for Durban and Webtickets for Pietermaritzburg.
