New Neighbors including Jan Kooijman

The story explores themes of love, jealousy, friendship, adultery and the complexity of relationships. Scriptwriter Bart van den Donker (De Profundis, Siegfried & Roy, What My Husband Doesn't Know, Evening Show with Lubach) about New Neighbors:
"New Neighbors plays with the tension of everyday situations, recognizable fantasies and offers a glimpse into both the fulfilment of fears and desires that rear their heads when we let our everyday imagination guide us. This is not only sexy and exciting, but also terrifying. Especially in the theater, where we can almost touch the actors, smell their sweat and feel their shiver, this story comes into its own."

Nieuwe Buren is one of Saskia Noort's most popular books in the Netherlands. It was received jubilantly by readers and after its publication in 2006 spent no less than 8 weeks at number 1 in the bestseller top-60 and retained a spot on that list for 83 weeks. Nieuwe Buren was successfully adapted into a long-running television series for RTL and Videoland. And now - finally - a stage version will follow.
