Rozeke

A story about love, family, and urinals The young Guillaume Van der Stighelen finds the siphon a fantastic invention. His great childhood love chooses a rich good-for-nothing. He marries another woman, builds a plumbing empire, and makes a fortune. His daughter Rozeke is the apple of his eye. His sons become his cross to bear. And then he sees his childhood love again. On his 88th birthday, old Guillaume looks back. On what he won. On what it cost. On what he never said. Rozeke is based on the bestseller of the same name by Guillaume Van der Stighelen - who discovered his great-grandfather and made it his debut novel. More than 20,000 copies sold later, Warre Borgmans brings the story to the stage. “The story grabs, moves, and amuses,” Borgmans himself said, “balancing between tragedy and humor.” A (nearly) true story about plumbing, love, and the price of success. And about a man who only understands what he had at the end.
