Baby Reindeer - Thijs van de Meeberg
The Netflix hit ‘Baby Reindeer’ comes to the Dutch theatres. In this true-event story, comedian Richard Gadd paints an intimate and poignant picture of the five years he was stalked. The tens of thousands of emails, hundreds of hours of voicemails, and many encounters meandered him back and forth between humiliation and desire, despair and suffocation. Gadd processed his experiences in a gripping one-man show and later starred in the eponymous series on Netflix, one of the streaming service's best viewed and rated series ever. Now comedian Thijs van de Meeberg crawls into the role of Gadd. The raw, sharp and humorous solo can be seen for the first time in the Netherlands.

About RIchardd Gadd
“I find it unimaginably brave that Richard shared what he felt in this way. That he dared to write that down and eventually it turned out to be some kind of way out to step it up.” ad
