The 1987 National Arts Festival at Grahamstown (now  Makhanda) hosted two projects conceived by the satirist, Pieter-Dirk Uys, during the state of emergency: a new play, 'Panorama',  set on Robben Island, and 'a burlesque of bad taste.'

The  burlesque of bad taste, aka "Rearranging the Deckchairs on the SA Bothatanic, ", with Chris Galloway, impaled the State of Emergency, ending with the captain, looking like  Prime Minister PW Botha, singing, " and now the end is near and I face the final curtain."

Pieter-Dirk Uys said "today I realise that the festival was the umbilical cord that joined us to that ultimate desire: to perform. To be original. To be brave. To be mad doing three shows a day."

Pieter-Dirk Uys is a South African performer, author, satirist, and social activist. Under Apartheid, Uys used the medium of humour and comedy to criticise and expose the absurdity of the South African government's racial policies. Much of his work was not censored, indicating a tacit approval of his views by many members of the ruling party, who were not so bold as to openly admit mistakes and criticise the policies themselves. For many years Uys lampooned the South African regime and its leaders, as well as the sometimes hypocritical attitudes of white liberals.
