GEORGE NEWS - World-renowned satirist and actor Pieter-Dirk Uys brings us his latest one-man performance for one evening only at the George Arts Theatre. Sell-by Date will be showcased on Thursday 4 April, at 19:00.

By Tuesday afternoon, 2 April, only 30 seats were still available for this performance. 

The show is written, directed and performed by Pieter-Dirk Uys, featuring himself and a bunch of topical characters, male, female and political.

Critics who viewed Sell-by Date on stage elsewhere in the country call it an up-to-the-minute political satire, with humour that is clever, gentle, cheeky, and always pertinent. "He is curious, witty and razor-sharp," said one critic.

In her online review of the production, Robyn Sassen calls the show "bracingly honest, bitingly critical and one in which you leave with a heart full of love for a performer who had the courage to take on South Africa's insanity and show it to all of us.

"It's a show premised by a plastic box in which all the costumes are deposited after he's used them, for repurposing and for sale to the benefit of the SPCA."

In his own words, Uys' show has a few hilarious hiccups of humour that will make people gasp and laugh at the madness of our world. "Note: my sell-by date does not automatically become an expiry date!"
