Mon Amour in Franschhoek is set to host an extraordinary evening with South African satirist Pieter-Dirk Uys, as he brings his latest one-man show, “SELL-BY DATE,” to the stage.
Soon to be presented at the renowned Soho Theatre in London, this performance promises a captivating blend of humor, insight, and nostalgia.
“SELL-BY DATE” features Uys not only as himself—an esteemed author and social activist—but also showcases a parade of iconic characters.
- Through his beloved personas, both male and female, political and otherwise, Uys brings news and memories from life in the Rainbow Nation to vivid life. The show also humorously commemorates the South African and British General Elections, highlighting the ‘mock’ in democracy and the ‘con’ in Constitution.
At 78, Pieter-Dirk Uys continues to deliver laughter amidst chaos, with recent surgery adding a surprising twist to his performance. Audiences are in for an unforgettable experience, witnessing the enduring wit and resilience of a performer who has spent over 60 years on stage. When asked about retirement, Uys’ response is as sharp as ever: “Not re-tyre; retread!”
The Franschhoek performances of “SELL-BY DATE” will be a special preview of the version set to be shown in London in mid-August. The show runs for 75 minutes without an interval, allowing ample time for post-theatre drinks and supper, making it a perfect evening out.
