Synopsis:
Uys takes on South Africa's national traumas of racism, AIDS and child rape. In a vast public hospital, where celebrity face-lift facilities are more important than hallways crowded with AIDS patients, a prominent, powerful family must sort out the supposed rape of an eight year-old girl. Working through a catharsis of pain and anger, they discover new compassion and learn to believe in angels. Uys has described the play as a drama about "things people don't want to confront, issues that are politically incorrect and often dangerous to exploit or explain." It makes a stirring case for worldwide adoption of AIDS babies

Synopsis:
Elections & Erections is a journey through the minefields of fear and fun from the point of view of a white South African. Pieter-Dirk Uys pitches his satirical tent at the crossroads of two impending elections—the USA Presidential one in November and the next South African General Election in April 2009. It is his latest, most outrageous attack on political outrage, which underlines the "mock" in democracy. . ..Pieter-Dirk Uys has been raising laughs and AIDS awareness in South Africa and worldwide. He brings with him a host of 'special guests,' all of whom he performs with uncanny accuracy and deep affection, including Nelson and Winnie Mandela, Desmond Tutu, and his most outrageous creation—the glamorous Evita Bezuidenhout, the self-described 'most famous white woman in South Africa'

As the succession battle heats up Pieter Dirk Uys offers a new candidate, Mrs Evita Bezuidenhout, who might eventually be the only choice for President.
