Theatre from Flanders: Gen X Has Left the Chat

Barons Court Theatre


A group of parents try to arrange a get together via Whatsapp. Things get complicated when a parent claims that his son is being bullied by the others. Then someone accidentally shares a photo that was clearly meant for another group... To try and put things right, the teacher calls a meeting with the parents. IRL obviously.


This comedy about screen addiction and generational divides received stellar reviews in its original production by Dutch theatre collective Wunderbaum. 


Annelies Verbeke is a leading figure in Flemish literature. In 2022, she received the Ultima for Literature (the Flemish state prize for literature). She has written various theatre texts for Wunderbaum and other Dutch and Flemish theatre companies.


Liz Waters is a full time literary translator based in Amsterdam. She has worked on all of Annelies Verbeke's translations into English, including another play for Wunderbaum.


This is a script in hand reading, part of Flip Through Flanders. Produced by Flanders Literature and Modern Culture.
