Evita unmasked

Pieter-Dirk Uys will live-stream the production Unmasking Evita from Penny Lane Studios in Cape Town on Women’s Day, Sunday August 9, at 6pm. Evita Bezuidenhout has been part of the South African political landscape since 1981. Among the many masks she successfully wore were those as a member of the National Party, as an ambassador in the SA Diplomatic Corps, as a loving wife, a doting mother, a glamorous grandmother and a committed comrade. Now in her mid-eighties, she is still a farce to be reckoned with. Pieter-Dirk Uys has been impersonating her for years and as a result is used to wearing her face as his mask. Tickets cost R70 each. Book through Quicket.
