The echo of a noise
In a story that aches to be heard, Uys has always used humour as a “weapon of mass distraction” and his latest offering is no different.
MASTER satirist, the indefatigable Pieter-Dirk Uys, comes to the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre in Durban with his show The Echo of a Noise for two weeks, from 25 July until 6 August.
Pieter-Dirk Uys, presents this one-man memoir in which he sits on a barstool, opens his heart and talks about his private and public life leading the audience into his inner-sanctuary with stories that can evoke surprise, laughter and tears.
Now in his 71st year, Uys doesn’t glance back at the successes and failures that have strengthened his belief in a constant improvement of his work, but at 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, his teachers, his passions, Sophia Loren, censorship, false eyelashes and making a noise when everyone demanded silence.
In a story that aches to be heard, Uys has always used humour as a “weapon of mass distraction” and his latest offering is no different. Since opening The Echo of a Noise has played to full houses and sold out seasons. His masterful story-telling, wit and wisdom are generously shared and as with so many of his performances, he takes his audiences into his confidence, breaks the rules and crosses boundaries.
