Pieter-Dirk Uys presents his acclaimed new show, An Audience with Pieter-Dirk Eish!, nightly at the Baxter Theatre from 29th October.

Every night is a different show, because the audience decides what they want. With the choice of fifteen boxes on stage, a member of the audience chooses a number. Out come the characters and an 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!  It could be Evita Bezuidenhout as 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.

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! Meet those in our Rainbow Nation who will help us laugh at our fear of an unchartered future.

An Audience with Pieter-Dirk Eish!  was a complete sell-out at the recent National Arts Festival in Grahamstown this year where it received rave reviews.
