THE DESTRUCTION

The Hague, the Torentje. Trust in politics has fallen to an all-time low and the Netherlands has plummeted dangerously low in the world happiness index. The brand new prime minister, together with her spin doctor, is contemplating a plan to regain trust. A Ministry of Trust has even past event created.

Then the Secretary of State storms in. All of Holland is on its way to the Court City. Outside, a churning crowd is rattling the gates of the Binnenhof. Any repression is the flame in the pan, so what remains is the ultimate speech.

As an ever-growing mass of angry citizens threaten to storm the Binnenhof, a small team under high pressure tries to find the right words to save the country.

DE BESTORMING is an exciting and comical Binnenhof drama, inspired by recent political and social developments at home and abroad. The power of words is central. How what we say affects what we do and think. At best, words can inspire; at worst, they can inflame. But what do you do when words fall short.
