PDU Productions presents ELECTIONS AND ERECTIONS South Africa's best-known satirist, Pieter-Dirk Uys presents his new show, Elections and Erections. It is a personal journey through the minefield of fear and fun on the eve of South Africa's most crucial general election. Uys celebrates the two issues that were illegal for most of his life in South Africa: democracy and sex. He uses humour, his weapon of mass distraction, and compares today's freedom of speech to those years of no freedom. Depending on Who's Who in the Political Zoo, Uys will present a host of familiar and upcoming politicians and opinion-shakers, from the Clintons and Obamas in the USA, to a Tutu here and a Mandela there, old Nats reinvented Communist, designer Democrats, Fat Cats and bloody fools. And Evita Bezuidenhout leading her political congress, Evita's People's Party, with a unique Q&A session with the audience and a surprise guest each night. 'Infectious comedy, biting political satire.' – The Guardian, UK 'A love letter from the depth of a heart that understands South Africa, its people and issues so well.' – Cape Argus
