A man and a woman, both in their thirties. Things are going well for them, they are well-educated, concerned with the world around them, and in love. One day, while waiting in line at the IKEA, the man asks a question that will change their relationship forever: isn't it time for a child?
With great compassion, humor and levity, Duncan Macmillan describes in intimate and cutting dialogue the heavy choice that weighs on a young couple torn back and forth between feeling and reason. Longen accessibly reveals the dilemma of a generation for whom uncertainty is the only certainty. What kind of world are we passing on to our children? And should we really want to do that to those children? Longen was written by Duncan Macmillan(Every Brilliant Thing, People Places & Things), according to de Volkskrant the playwright of the moment.

The media about Longen
Longen mercilessly puts its finger on the sore spot of a narcissistic generation" (NRC ★★★★)
"Theatre gem, fantastic actors."
Zorba Huisman af as a director from the Toneelacademie in Maastricht in 2021 and is attached to Toneelgroep Maastricht as a director. Her work is characterized by strong, aesthetic images. Musical in nature, but always human and empathetic. Longen premiered at Festival Cultura Nova in 2023. 'This strikingly pure text premiere deserves a tour,' wrote the Volkskrant. That wish is hereby granted.
