Een nieuwe dood

When this play was shown on tv, it had already been played in many theaters around the country. It was the first time in Holland that someone took the courage to make aids a subject of discussion for the big public. The story is simple: a young man discovers he has aids, and we see the people around him do what everybody would do. Deny, ignore, help, encourage: all kind of human reactions are shown through the mother, the boyfriend and friends. After all the great musicals, Jos Brink and his partner Frank Sanders took the step to take a heavy subject on stage instead of laughter. Great. Thanks!
