- ItemRandfigure as middels vir sosiale kommentaar in enkele werke van Pieter-Dirk Uys en Nataniel(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2022-03) Van Eeden, Marguerite; Du Preez, Petrus; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Dept. of Drama.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates Pieter-Dirk Uys and Nataniël as two theatre practitioners that used characteristics of satire, cabaret, and the creation of marginalised characters to deliver social and political commentary on apartheid. Satire, comedy, and certain characteristics of cabaret are used as a point of departure for the theoretical framework of this study to further analyse four specific plays created by Pieter-Dirk Uys and Nataniël. Farce About Uys and Adapt or Dye are discussed with regards to Pieter-Dirk Uys’s use of satire, cabaret, and the creation of marginalised characters to protest apartheid. A discussion of Nataniëls plays, Dancing with John and White Soul, are discussed with reference to Nataniël’s use of satire, cabaret, and the creation of marginalised characters to protest apartheid. The thesis concludes that both PieterDirk Uys and Nataniël used satire and cabaret to protest apartheid and further that in each of the four aforementioned plays both Pieter-Dirk Uys and Nataniël created marginalised characters to protest social and political issues during apartheid.
