Mark Haayema adapted his book Oma, mag ik mijn pop terug? – voted best children’s book about dementia – to a theatre performance for the company Theater Gnaffel, situated in Zwolle. For more than twenty years, this company produced performances in which human-sized dolls come to life. Artistic director Elout Hout was awarded the Gouden Krekel for his oeuvre in 2013.
“Gnaffel succeeds wonderfully in turning a painful subject into entertaining and penetrating theatre for parents and their (grand) children.”
