Werktuig Het Hoorspel (7+)
Discover the thrilling live audio play in Haarlem on October 25!

Why This Outing Matters Right Now in Haarlem
On Sunday, October 25, the Verhalenhuis Haarlem invites you to a unique experience: Werktuig Het Hoorspel. This live audio play offers an exciting blend of curiosity and imagination, young adventurers. In a time when digital entertainment often dominates, it’s refreshing to see stories come to life in a traditional way. This is a chance for children to actively engage with a narrative and stimulate their imagination.
What to Expect
The story follows Erik, who moves with his parents to the quiet village of Guigbalg. Everything seems dull until he meets Jan. Together, they discover an abandoned shed and face mysterious tasks. The audio play, inspired by Tom Waits’ song ‘What’s he building’, is performed by two actors who bring the story to life with ingenious sounds. Children will be captivated by the thrilling twists as they listen with headphones.
Practical Tips
Make sure to arrive early, as there are only 100 available seats. The Verhalenhuis is a lovely venue, so why not take a short stroll through Haarlem before or after the show? The city boasts charming streets and cozy cafes where you can enjoy a drink or a bite to eat. It's also a great opportunity to explore some of Haarlem's culinary experiences, such as the Beer Tour Haarlem or the Asian Food tour Haarlem.
