The legendary Pieter-Dirk Uys has four shows at the Suidoosterfees this year. Producer Phil caught up with him to chat about all his shows, his life in theatre, and humour as a tool to speak truth to power. Listen to the full conversation here:
“A joke is something you forget about when you finish laughing. Humour is laughing at fear. That fear doesn’t go away; but if you keep your eye on it, it’ll never be taller that you. And I think that really helps all of us come to terms with the problems we face every day.”
Pieter-Dirk Uys stars in 4 different productions at this years Suidoosterfees include the iconic Evita Bezuidenhout in 2 shows, Bambi in Cabaret, and The Echo of a Noise. Tickets are available at Webtickets.
