Description
The production of 'For Three Refrigerators and a Washing Machine' is an example of Verbatim Theatre. Based on real documents and real-life events, it tells the story/stories of child adoptions of the Cold War period, from 1950s-60s Greece to the USA and to the Netherlands, with many connections to subsequent intercountry adoption movements. The production makes its World debut in London as a new and original play, underpinned by the research of King's Prof. Gonda Van Steen, with contributions from many adoptees themselves.
The show is directed by Kyriaki Mitsou and it is presented in 3 languages (English, Greek, and Dutch, with the relevent surtitles). A strong, diverse cast from all three countries supports the show, which also contains filmed parts and original music.
The production opens at King's Greenwood Theatre, on the 24-25-26 of October, at 7pm.
It is about time for the many affected people's stories to be told and for their voices to be heard!
We hope to see you there!
