Tjitske Reidinga launched as star of new summer programming Amsterdam Delamartheater
The general public knows her as the rock-hard lawyer Claire from Gooise Vrouwen. Tone lovers have known her longer as that actress with the striking voice. A diplomat's daughter, born in Africa, later raised in Bussum. Tjitske Reidinga now dares to come forward:
5-hour marathon Roman Tragedies favourite with spectators Toneelgroep Amsterdam
Photo: jan Versweyveld We were somewhat mildly ironic about it, but hats off, meanwhile, to Toneelgroep Amsterdam's PR department and the audience, who responded remarkably well to the 'choose the reprise' campaign the company launched a few weeks back. We have the hard numbers we feared we would never see. And they are credible. We quote the press release:....
Top or flop: audience picks repertoire first theatre company in the Netherlands
We got another press release, and wondered: top or flop? How does idiosyncratic artistry rhyme with audience-determined repertoire choice?

So something like that could happen with The Russians, the latest show
