Baby Reindeer - Thijs van de Meeberg
The Netflix hit ‘Baby Reindeer’ is coming to Dutch theatres. In this story based on true events, comedian Richard Gadd painted an intimate and harrowing picture of the five years during which he was stalked. The tens of thousands of emails, hundreds of hours of voicemails and many encounters threw him back and forth between humiliation and longing, desperation and suffocation. Gadd turned his experiences into a gripping one-man show and later played the lead in the Netflix series of the same name, one of the streaming service’s most watched and highest-rated series ever. Now cabaret performer Thijs van de Meeberg steps into Gadd’s shoes. This raw, sharp and humorous solo can be seen in the Netherlands for the first time.

About Richard Gadd
"I think it’s unbelievably brave that Richard shared what he felt in this way. That he dared to write it down and that performing it eventually turned out to be a kind of way out." (AD)
About Thijs van de Meeberg
"This is my first acting job; before this it was mainly cabaret. The step from cabaret to theatre is quite big. Now I can picture it and mostly think: bring it on. I’m going to give it everything on that stage." (AD)
