Description:
When visitors to the Stadsschouwburg walk past the portraits before the performance, you hear: 'Look, that's Ellen' - because Mrs Vogel is alive now and I hope for a long time to come, and everyone knows her as Ellen. Just as Mrs Dresselhuys will always be called Mary to everyone. From others you hear: 'Ko van Dijk, I saw him play.' Yes, fortunately I did too. When we were still at drama school, we, future geniuses, called him Ko, but the further someone gets away from everyday life today, the more surname he apparently gets. And then: 'Who is that, Mom?' 'Yes, he had that voice.' That voice, that word, that gesture, those eyes, that is what remains of an actor in people's memories. Or sometimes: 'That blue dress in a Chekhov. But which play was that again?' Actors, heroes and heroines of the public, their art quickly disappears into oblivion after their death, because acting is by definition fleeting and of today. This book is to tell you about actors from the past.
