Every month we have a global theme - January was Ugly

What better way to ring in the New Year with the ‘most famous white woman in South Africa’, Pieter-Dirk Uys aka Evita Bezuidenhout. 

He was born in Cape Town in 1945 and has been in the theatre since the mid 1960s. Closely associated with both the Space Theatre in Cape Town and Johannesburg’s Market Theatre during the 1970s and 1980s, he has written and performed 20 plays and over 30 revues and one-man shows throughout South Africa and abroad. Impressive!

Managing his own cabaret venue, formerly an old railway station, called EVITA SE PERRON, Pieter-Dirk still found the time to share his thoughts on this months theme: UGLY

Uys now lives in Darling, where he hosts cabaret shows at his creative hub (Evita Se Perron), famously known for its satirical garden, Boerassic Park, and the domain of Evita Bezuidenhout. The unique museum/nauseum of apartheid artefacts there, reflecting the madness of the past, is arguably the only satirical exhibition of South Africa’s recent past.
