The Drama

In The Drama, director Florian Myjer theatrically files our class society with humour and painful honesty. After all, that the Netherlands supposedly has no classes? That story is long outdated. However hard you work, the place where you were born determines to a large extent how you will fare in life.

Led by an inspired - and not entirely unbiased - teacher, a class at a prestigious university embarks on a challenging block of lessons on class, privilege and social mobility. What begins as an idealistic project soon derails into something much more personal ánd painful. For as soon as the students examine their own and each other's backgrounds, shame, blind spots and hidden anger come ruthlessly to light.

Audiences are drawn into a confrontational class journey full of dreams, envy and longing for recognition.

The Drama is a disruptive tragicomedy played by actors from diverse backgrounds. Their own experiences of moving up, adapting and being excluded form the beating heart of the story. A personal and razor-sharp performance. In your face. Hilarious. And uncomfortably recognisable The Drama leaves no one unmoved - and makes you think about what we would rather not say out loud.
