An Israeli violinist. Living in her trendy canal-side Amsterdam
apartment. Nine months pregnant.
One day a mysterious unpaid gas bill from 1944 arrives. 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.
First seen at the Haifa Theater, Israel, in 2018, Amsterdam received
its UK premiere, in this English translation by Eran Edry, at the Orange
Tree Theatre, Richmond, in 2019, directed by Matthew Xia, in a
co-production between the Orange Tree, Actors Touring Company and
Theatre Royal Plymouth.
