Hilariously funny and brilliantly observed and acted — in fact, pure vintage Uys. Unforgetable, endearing, subversive! Pieter-
– Fiona Chisholm, Cape Times, 18 March 1997
A superb performance like this underlines Uys's position as a unique contributor to the South African theatre....his look back takes place in an original, entertaining way ... before your eyes he becomes a vagrant, an old woman, an Italian cafe owner, a Jewish property developer and a member of John Vorster's censorboard.
– (translated from) Gabriel Bothma, Die Burger, 18 March 1997
Uys has come up with a clever device for recalling the triumphs and sorrows of that time and place ... the tale is told from outside the premises, by a colourful band of observers and patrons, all played by the author. There is wit and cunning aplenty .. it is worth seeing.
– Len Ashton, Cape Argus, 18 March 1997
... contains some of the finest writing — and performance art — I have ever encountered from the man ... this work is a series of characters whose lives were touched by the phenomenon that, perhaps more than any other, opened the doors to integration in theatre and played a major role in bringing about emancipation in South Africa.
– Raeford Daniel, The Citizen, 6 May 1997
