"VOLGENDE X"

"VOLGENDE X" (NEXT TIME): ... a surprisingly “witty” comedy....

After Dylan Thomas' successful show “Onder het Melkbos" (Under the Milk Forest),
which has been shown across the country, actor/theatre-maker Nico Meurs is returning with a theatre monologue: 'VOLGENDE X' (NEXT TIME).

A man alone in a deserted hospital waiting room waits tensely to see if his wife Maaike, who has been in a car accident, will wake up from her coma. Meanwhile, he kills time with stories, jokes, songs, impersonations, anecdotes, reflections and memories....

Gradually, you learn more-and-more about his life and the circumstances of the accident.

‘VOLGENDE X’ is an award-winning, hilarious and moving solo. It was written in 1993 by Ron Aldridge and is being performed in a fresh and up-to-date adaptation by Nico Meurs. The show has a very attractive and accessible theatrical form: serious theatre and cabaret-like elements alternate, without compromising its intriguing content. The play has a number of baffling plot-twists that keep the audience on the edge of  their seats. And despite the gripping subject matter, there is plenty to laugh at and enjoy. In short: a play that strikes a chord with a wide and diverse audience!

The result is a tragi-comic solo of over an hour, full of humour, speed and emotion. ‘VOLGENDE X’ is  oppressive, but also funny and above all, deeply human.
