Humour, false eyelashes and wisdom at The Sneddon

Pieter-Dirk Uys presents his astonishing show, The Echo of a Noise – a one-man memoir in which South Africa’s foremost satirist sits on a barstool, opens his heart and talks about his private and public life.

He leads the audience into his inner-sanctuary with stories that can evoke surprise, laughter and tears.

Showing at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre, Durban from July 25 to August 6, Uys looks back at his 71 years, focusing on those small signposts that throughout his life subconsciously pointed him in a right and original direction: his father Hannes Uys and his mother Helga Bassel; his grandmothers; Sophia Loren; censorship; false eyelashes and making a noise when everyone demanded silence.

In a story that demands to be heard, Uys has always used humour as a “weapon of mass distraction” and his latest offering is no different.

As with so many of his performances he takes his audiences into his confidence, breaks the rules and crosses boundaries. His masterful story-telling, wit and wisdom are generously shared.
