National Children's Theatre Week: Flat (reprise, 6+)

A Special Outing in Haarlem

The National Children's Theatre Week is upon us, and that means something beautiful is on the agenda. On Sunday, October 18 at 16:00, the reprise of the play 'Flat' will be performed at Verhalenhuis Haarlem. This performance is not just about theater. it touches on themes that affect us all, such as loneliness and connection, even if you are nearly 100 years old. With a special discount for grandparents with grandchildren, this is an opportunity you won't want to miss.

What to Expect

'Flat' tells the story of Willem, an elderly man who lives in a flat where every day seems the same. He grumbles a lot, because what else is there to do? When a new neighbor moves in next door, his life begins to change. Suddenly, he can laugh, dance, and sing again. But happiness is short-lived as the impending relocation of the elderly threatens their companionship. This makes the performance not only entertaining but also a reflection on human connection.

Practical Tips

If you plan to attend the performance, make sure to arrive early. Verhalenhuis Haarlem has a cozy atmosphere, so why not take a stroll around the city before the show starts? Haarlem itself is a beautiful city with much to offer, from historic buildings to charming cafés. It’s a great way to spend the afternoon with your grandchildren before immersing yourself in the world of Willem and his neighbor.
