Amsterdam

2020, English. Directed by Thomas Bowles & Matthew Xia.

Everyone knows, all of them...that when all's said and done, she is no more than a fig leaf hiding the thing everyone else would be much happier never having to look at.

An Israeli violinist, living in her trendy canal-side Amsterdam apartment, and nine months pregnant. One day a mysterious unpaid gas bill from 1944 arrives. Slid her an envelope right under the door and then just walked away. It awakens unsettling feelings of collective identity, foreignness, and alienation. Stories of a devastating past are compellingly reconstructed to try and make sense of the present. This stage play by writer Maya Arad Yasur was filmed at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond, London, UK during its run between September 6 and October 12, 2019. A strikingly original, audacious thriller by prize-winning Israeli playwright Maya Arad Yasur, whose work has been produced worldwide. This is Matthew Xia's first production as Artistic Director of Actors Touring Company, and was filmed at the Orange Tree Theatre in Richmond, London, UK during its run between September 6 and October 12, 2019.
