Notes: | Original Playwright - Jeroen van den Berg | |||||
| Blowing is an explosive farce, upgraded for the YouTube generation. Tom and Jessica are not prepared to play along with their mum's pretensions any more. They are taking power back because soon they'll no longer be able to distinguish between fact and fiction. This blisteringly funny look at how adults condescend to children is by one of the most talented playwrights in the Netherlands | |||||
