Krapp's laatste band
All his life, the 69-year-old Krapp has always recorded the events of the past year on his birthday. This evening, he listens loudly to old recordings full of desires and ambition, before recording his last tape. “Just listened to that stupid bastard who was myself thirty years ago. Hard to believe I was ever that awful. Thank goodness that's over”. The press was extremely enthusiastic about the performance: “Jaap Spijkers is the ideal actor for this role” (Volkskrant ★★★★) and “Memorable images” (NRC Handelsblad ★★★★).
U bent mijn moeder
In 1981, Joop Admiraal wrote theater history with U bent mijn moeder, based on conversations he had with his demented mother in a nursing home. It was startling how Admiraal played both himself and his mother, making the performance a masterpiece of acting as well. Rick Paul van Mulligen has wanted to act out this script that is so dear to him for a long time; Noël Fischer had it on her wish list as well. Thus, they saw the opportunity. The press responded: "It is fascinating to see the transformation of Rick Paul van Mulligen" (Volkskrant ★★★★) and “Intriguing are all subtle gestures of old age.” (Theaterkrant)
