Tramlijn Begeerte tackles several social and psychological themes: narcissism, alcohol addiction, domestic violence, and rape. Yet it is one of the most performed and beloved pieces in the theater. Precisely because it is so truthful.
Because actors can shine through the lifelike dialogues and characterizations. Through the emotions, which descend upon the stage like whirlwinds. And through the final chord, brutal and heartbreaking. The piece is 75 years old. A classic, then.
