Toneelschap Beumer & Drost is a company of theatre makers that allows the opportunity to escape from reality by offering boundless fantasy and infectious onstage pleasure. Since 1997, the company has been producing family shows for wide audiences of 8 years and above for theatres in the Netherlands and Belgium. The Beumer & Drost signature is apparent in everything they produce; in their approach to acting, in fantasy, in mime and in song. They devise, develop, write and compose all their own work. Toneelschap Beumer & Drost has declared a never-ending quest for scintillating originality.
International:
During the last few years, Beumer & Drost has performed in England, Austria, France, US, Canada, Switzerland and Germany. In 2008, Beumer & Drost performed Hobbit de voorstelling/Hobbit the play at the IPAY festival in Tampa Bay, Florida. In Hobbit, two men make a miraculous journey on and under the stage of their imagination; they become entwined in a comedy film in which everything makes a noise and sound is given a colour. The shows Ingeblikt/Canned and Gasten/Guests are also highly suitable for touring. Ingeblikt/Canned is a complicated embroilment about a rusty old can containing a few film fragments that have stuck together, but which are otherwise unconnected. At least ... this is how it seems. The Gasten/Guests build one last changing-room alongside the 205,212 that already exist in the Netherlands. A light-hearted, bouncy, strange, bizarre, and yet poetic show about sporting affairs.
