BBM Now a Dutch Play - Premier tonight
« on: February 09, 2007, 11:37:09 am »
I read in the Volkskrant today that tonight sees the world premiere of Brokeback Mountain The Play!!! A Dutch theater company has turned by Annie Proux's short story into a play.

For those of you who can read dutch  ;D (sorry!) here's the link for the theater company: http://www.wettenvankepler.nl/indexsite.php


When i first read this, i thought wow, exciting! I want to see this. But I'm not sure. Jack and Ennis in dutch? hmmm. I didn't like the dutch translation of the short story and they're using this translations as the basis for the play. But then again, it might be an incredible experience. I'll wait for the reviews and then decide I think.


Hey, Mel, what do you think? Are you going to watch this?

Brokeback Mountain (the play) premiering tonight in Holland!
« Reply #5 on: February 09, 2007, 02:06:25 pm »
Fabienne notified me about this! Thank you Fabienne!  :-*

Tonight will be the premiere of Brokeback mountain, the play, in Den Bosch (the Netherlands)!!!!

About a year ago I read in the newspaper that a Dutch theatre group (De Wetten van Kepler) had bought the rights for the short story Brokeback Mountain to turn it into a play. Then, I thought it was a joke, today I realise it wasn't. I am awaiting the reviews and I will keep you all posted about it. I will take a picture of the article in de Volkskrant of today and post it here!

It is really weird to see Jack and Ennis portrayed by two different (and... Dutch!) actors! And there are songs...  :o

Good point, Jude!  It could be in Venusian, and I think we'd all have one hunderd per cent comprehension.  

I wish I could go.  That's one of the peskiest things about being in the Western part of the United States - when I lived in New York, going to Europe was an adventure that I enjoyed several times.  But now that Europe is twice as far away, I haven't been there once since moving here 13 years ago.


So it looks like it's travelling around Holland during Feb and March.  And that it's "Muziektheater?"  Does this really mean it's a musical?
