Apple to Grandma
© Dirk Buwalda
Josie is very angry. Since her grandma had to move to a nursery home, she isn't allowed anymore to stay overnight. When grandma was still living in her own beautiful house they used to pick apples and Josie could bring them to the attic for her. Josie decides to make a beautiful painting for her grandma and to bring her an apple from the old apple tree, their favorite place.
Speeltheater Holland developed this play in 1996,
inspired by children's drawings. A giant sketchbook and pencil
and drawings that come alive are the ingredients of this play,
full of imagination and humor.
It toured around Holland and Flanders and other countries in
Europe for several years. In 1997 it had a successful run on the
Sundance Festival in Utah.
In 2000 the artistic team of Speeltheater Holland created the performance Apple to Grandma for the Seattle Children's Theatre . This was the fourth time they worked together with this renowned theatre for the youth in the USA.
