A Touch of the Dutch: Plays by Women (European Series) (Paperback)
Featuring five plays by Dutch women writers (Hella Haasse, Matin Van Veldhuizenm, Suzanne Van Lohuizen, Inez Van Dullemen and Judith Herzberg) this play collection showcases the best plays by women writing in the Netherlands at the time of publication.
Suzanne van Lohuizen studied at the Conservatory of Dramatic Art in Arnhem. In 1977 she completed her training as a teacher of Dutch and shortly afterwards began a career as an actress with a political theatre group called Proloog. She also began writing and directing plays for adults and children. In 1992 she was awarded the Dutch/Flemish Dramatic prize for 2 children's plays: Have you seen my little boy? and The house of my life.She says of her work: 'The struggle which sets the child against the world which surrounds him, is a hard one. I don't write for children from a sense of mission, but because I still feel very close to them emotionally.'
