Operation Hellfire - Het Nationale Theater | Eric de Vroedt

Theater en toneel

It's 2030. The Prime Minister of the Netherlands is organizing an international top about the collapsing world order. He wants to start a counter -movement, back to a time when international law really mattered. But then the unthinkable happens: the former president of America, one of the guests of honor, is arrested on arrival in The Hague by the International Criminal Court.
The reaction from Washington follows at lightning speed. The American Service Members ’Protection Act is activated, a law that protects Americans against persecution by the Criminal Court. There is a diplomatic riot that is unparalleled. The Criminal Court refuses to withdraw the indictment, even in the sight of an imminent invasion.

The Hague calls itself "the international city of peace and justice". In Operation Hellfire writers Joeri Heegstra and Max Wind ask the question: how far is the Netherlands willing to go to make those ideals true?
