New Uys play for World Cup

During the weeks of the FIFA World Cup, from 11 June to 11 July, 2010, 29 shows of a new play, Fee-Fa-Fo-Fum, will be presented at Evita se Perron, Darling, on the Cape West Coast, now declared a SoccerfreeZone by Mrs Evita Bezuidenhout.
New Uys play for World Cup

Pieter-Dirk Uys will present the special show, which comprises a selection of comedy sketches. Inspired by the fairy tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, where the giant searches for Jack with the words "Fee-fie-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!", the entertainment will start with the story of Bafana and Sepp the Giant. Audiences will meet General Montgomery trying to plan a way to encircle and capture the illusive Stadium on the Green Point Common; an imported Lady of the Night tries to negotiate in 11 official languages; a "bergie" who has lived since 1652 at the foot of Signal Hill is now forced to move to Noordhoek by the new radical bylaws that have been imposed on the Mother City and a Cockney S****R hooligan, drunk and disorderly, finds himself trapped on the edge of one of the unfinished foreshore bridges. The patient people of Cape Town will have their say!

Ticketless Pik

Whilst, in Pretoria, Pik Botha has lost his tickets and wonders if his contacts with the Swiss still work? And then there is a FIFA - a Free-Information-For-All Survival Kit, in the capable hands of the Perron's hostess, Mrs Evita Bezuidenhout. And, of course, there will be a farewell word from our sponsor, Sepp the Giant himself, supporter of the poor, compassionate uplifter of the disadvantaged and soon to be the richest administrator in the world.

The show takes place during the week from 15 June and on certain weekends at Evita se Perron in Darling. Over weekends shows such as Icons & Aikonas, Elections and Erections, A Koeksuster for Zuma and the ever-popular Xmas in July will still be presented.

Exciting recipes from Mrs Bezuidenhout's best-selling cookbook Evita's se Kossie Sikelela are also served as delicious lunches and dinners during this time.
