Popular talk show host confronts the ghosts in her life

Live on television. The Red Hat full of audience. The opening tune sounds. Sonja has started. Undaunted, the queen of the Dutch talk show tonight crosses swords with the critic who has been slamming her in the newspaper for years. At the talk show table she always dares to bring up everything, but at home at the kitchen table Sonja does not get to ask her mother the essential questions. Speaking about the horrific fate of her Jewish father during the war seems impossible.

Popular talk show host confronts the ghosts in her life

Live on television. The Red Hat full of audience. The opening tune sounds. Sonja has started. Undaunted, the queen of the Dutch talk show tonight crosses swords with the critic who has been slamming her in the newspaper for years. At the talk show table she always dares to bring up everything, but at home at the kitchen table Sonja does not get to ask her mother the essential questions. Speaking about the horrific fate of her Jewish father during the war seems impossible.

Angela Schijf plays Sonja Barend, Annet Bremen based her new stage text on Sonja Barend's memoir: the bestseller "You'll never see me again. Directed by Servé Hermans, the popular talk show host confronts the ghosts in her life: the questions without answers. 'Sonja' is a plea for asking questions and an ode to conversation. Relentless, fearless, Sonja Barend!
