“South Africa for many of us in the US was one of the major issues for the activist generation post Viet Nam.  There were many South African expats that we were friends with, especially in the medical field. Nelson Mandela when he came to Boston after liberation and spoke from the Hatch shell on the Esplanade acknowledged the role that people of Boston in supporting his struggle.  It was great to attend your performance to get news of a country that I feel I was long involved in but never visited, and maybe find ways to reconnect to South Africa’s present trials. My wife had a grueling work week, and your performance was just great medicine.” -Stuart  A

“Your performance delighted and saddened me with nostalgia for the struggle, hopefulness & harsh realism I encountered while working for the Defense & Aid Fund in Jo’burg Summer to Fall 1964, after graduating from H’63.

“I was glad to have the opportunity to say it directly to [Pieter] during the brief book-signing afterwards. He is marvelous: witty and courageous. Is there such a thing as barbed pathos? I brought a friend from Europe, who so appreciated his takes on America. Thanks for the cabaret style seating–that was comfortable and different.” -Anara

“I loved the show.  I think Pieter is a fantastic artist, mimic, and comic. I was especially interested since I am in a class about Modern South African history and the production spoke to many of the issues we have been discussing.” -Graydon G.
