Farce About Uys - 1983

1983: "Farce About Uys" with Pieter-Dirk Uys, Thoko Ntshinga and Chris Galloway - directed by Dawie Malan
Truly a farce to be reckoned with. The beginning of Evita Bezuidenhout's long walk to fame.

watched this with my daughter of 16 years old, helped her understand what it used to be like! Glad to see it accessible for all, as it is historical memory... viva Pieter-Dirk!

This is a bloody gem. Great acting. Great use of the traditions of farce in the face of a police state. Great use of old/new school theatrical traditions. Beautifully constructed piece. And, fabulously subversive.

Was that actually shown on apartheid era SABC or how was the video distributed at the time?

Nothing like the old world humour! Even without any Afrikaans translations the tone and gestures make it all alive
