Opgewekt naar de eindstreep

Hendrik noticed that he was becoming increasingly forgetful and was beginning to lose sight of the big picture; he, therefore, decided to keep a diary again. That makes for funny but also poignant moments. As with previous Hendrik Groen performances, the cast consists of young actors. Because in every elderly person, there is still a young person hidden away.

More than half a million copies of Hendrik Groen's diaries have been sold. They were awarded the NS Audience Award and were broadcast as a TV series. Their success in theaters was also unprecedented: the theater halls for Pogingen iets van het leven te maken and Zolang er leven is were full night after night.
