Pieter-Dirk Uys

MORE ABOUT ‘ADAPT OR DYE’
Thirty years after PW Botha gave him the title ‘Adapt or Dye’, Pieter-Dirk Uys is once again inspired by a politician in 2012 who said: ‘Adapt or Fly!’.

Mrs Evita Bezuidenhout and familiar characters Pik Botha, Nowell Fine, Mrs Petersen, the old Krokodil, Madiba and the dancing Prez come to the rescue! In a time of depression, recession, fear and anger, what is better and more healing than a good laugh at the expense of those who depress, recess, frighten and annoy us?

Adapt or Fly is a politically incorrect production that features many controversial Prime Ministers, Presidents and Politicians,  from Pik Botha and FW de Klerk, to Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma and including political advice for Julius ‘Juju’ Malema (aka Kidi Amin).

The show also celebrates Uys’s career that has spanned three decades. In 1981 he started his total onslaught against careless, corrupt and unacceptable politics. Apartheid might officially be dead today, but the careless, corrupt and unacceptable political crooks and clowns are still dancing centre-stage.
It is said when history repeats itself, it can take tragedy and turn it into farce. So banish the blues. Come and enjoy the blacks, whites, browns, yellows and ‘others’ that make up this unique country of our dreams. As long as we can laugh at our fear, we are still in charge of our future.
