But political satirist and provocateur Pieter-Dirk Uys did just that with a special parliamentary performance of his one-man show Foreign Aids earlier this year. And at London's Tricycle Theatre this week, audiences are responding as enthusiastically to the play, in which Uys transforms himself into a handful of characters - or caricatures - to expose the hypocrisy and ignorance surrounding Africa's AIDS crisis.
