Poison

The work of the award-winning playwright Lot Vekemans has been translated into twenty-two languages and performed in more than thirty-five countries, making her the most performed Dutch playwright internationally.

Following its world premiere in Belgium, Poison had its English-language premiere in an acclaimed production at the Beckett Theatre in New York. It was a New York Times’s Critic’s Pick, which Broadway World called ‘truly astounding’.
