Description
Between The Devil And The Deep by Pieter-Dirk Uys is a memoir reflecting on a life shaped by theatre, satire, and South African politics. The book traces Uys’s journey from his early work at The Space Theatre through censorship battles, political revues, and international stages. Central to the narrative is the creation of his alter ego Evita Bezuidenhout and the role of performance as resistance during apartheid. Blending humour with reflection, the memoir explores art, identity, activism, and survival in a changing country. Illustrated with material from his shows, it offers insight into both the man and his public voice.
