Shows exclusive to Evita se Perron during December are:
TANNIE EVITA PRAAT KAKTUS – now in i’s 15th year, this revisionist history of South Africa (in English) is a must for any visitor and a delight for any local.
DESPERATE FIRST LADIES sees Uys present a chorus line of characters, some real, some created and all inspired by the unique fact of four First Ladies and a local political circus that takes the breath away.
ADAPT OR FLY shows the state of our nation thirty years after Uys’s first one man show Adapt or Dye. It played to packed houses throughout South Africa, so if you missed it, here’s your chance to catch up with what happened yesterday.
ICONS & AIKONAS is a comedy specially written for the Perron and reflects those who were once leaders and those who are now statesmen. Led by Tannie Evita who believes that we must know where we come from, so we can celebrate where we are going, characters include former Police Minister Adrian Vlok washing Thabo Mbeki’s feet, Bennie the bergie with a mission to see Trevor Manuel as President, Winnie Mandela and her remarkable staying power as the Mother of the Nation, Nowell Fine confronting yet another kugel crisis, Mrs Mugabe singing her Bob’s praises, as well as a few new onslaughts against the battlements of Zuma’s Private Zulustan of Nkandlakosweti.
TANNIE EVITA’S XMAS TREE celebrates with Christmas cheer, funny hats, a song or two, and all the presents from Evita that our politicians expect or dread coming their way this festive season.
EVITA SAYS GOODBYE 2012 can be shared those few days before this year says a tired totsiens, and we have a peep across the auld lang syne to 2013.
Evita se Perron is the ideal place to bring your loved ones as a birthday or Christmas treat, as a welcome home from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the USA or Europe, or just for the fun of coming to a town called Darling to see South Africa’s most famous white woman in action. Just because Evita Bezuidenhout doesn’t exist, doesn’t mean she’s not real!

TANNIE EVITA PRAAT KAKTUS - nou in sy 15de jaar is hierdie hersiende weergawe van ons Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedenis met tong in kies,’n moet vir elke besoeker en ’n fees vir alle plaaslike gehore.
DESPERATE FIRST LADIES sien ’n verhoog vol karakters, sommige werklike mense, ander geskepde kreasies, almal geinspireer deur die unieke realiteit van ons eie Vier Eerste Dames en ’n plaaslike politieke sirkus wat die asem kan wegslaan.
ADAPT OR FLY wys waar ons vandag saam in die reënboog-politiek toyi-toyi, dertig jaar na Uys se oorpronklike tiekiedraai in 'Adapt or Dye'. Vanjaar se satire het vir vol huise deur die land gespeel. So as jy dit misgeloop het, hier is jou kans om uit te vind wat vandag in die voorblaaie van die koerante staan.
ICONS & AIKONAS is ’n komedie spesiaal geskryf vir die Perron met die kollig op die leiers van gister en die staatsmanne van vandag - of omgekeerd.

Zuma se privaate Zulustan Nkandlakosweti.
TANNIE EVITA'S XMAS TREE bring alles wat Kersfees spesiaal maak saam: lekker kos en wyn, komiese papier hoedjies en ’n Kerslied of twee, asook al die presente van Evita wat huidige politici baie senuweeagtig maak.
