DUS retains grant, leadership leaves

The Netherlands' most remarkable company when it comes to handling grant money has been saved. The Theatre newspaper reports that the central government has agreed to the new adjusted budget, which had to be prepared after earlier this year a loss of over 2 million euros had arisen. So the company keeps the one and a half million euros and artistic director Jos Thie and his business partner Jelle Snijder are chased out of the city with pitch and feathers, where they can join the Supervisory Board that had already turned a little too blind eye. After all, putting in an overpriced production to make up for the deficit from an earlier run of that same overpriced production: no entrepreneur would ever allow that.

Enfin: vanaf 2014 is er een nieuwe baas in Utrecht, dus de sollicitanten kunnen zich warm gaan lopen. Benieuwd wie over 2 jaar bereid is het stokje over te nemen. Utrecht kennende zal er niet voor een lokale grootheid gekozen worden. We gokken nu alvast op Thibaud Delpeut. Die is er dan wel klaar voor. Als hij tenminste de huidige zware repetities met Halina Reijn bij Toneelgroep Amsterdam overleeft.
