Set in a roadside cafe, Truckstop is the story of a mother, her daughter Katalijne and regular customer Remco. The appearance of a knife, and everything changes forever.
Perfectly acted by Janet Bamford as the mother who clings desperately to the past to ensure the future, Eugenia Caruso as Katalijne with an ethereal mix of innocence, vulnerability and inner strength and Adam Best is pitched perfectly as the charming and loveable no hoper.
A poetic and powerful story with faultless direction and production, this is definitely one of this year's hidden gems. Originally performed in the Netherlands, the translation to English has managed to keep a foreign feel of the original play while still making it easily accessible to an English speaking audience. With an ominous sense of foreboding, Truckstop takes you on a journey with only one inevitable outcome. Fear, loss, hopelessness and self sacrifice are all milestones on the journey this drama takes you on. A must see this year.
