QR code
"The Good Hope" by Herman Heijermans is a Dutch play written in 1900/1901. Set in a fishing village, the drama centers on a dangerous voyage aboard an unsound boat sent to sea by a profit-driven employer. As a storm rages and families wait anxiously ashore, the conflict between fishermen and their capitalist boss builds toward inevitable tragedy. A socialist work and cornerstone of social realist theatre, the play remains Heijermans's most enduring
and frequently staged production. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
