A letter that sets everything in motion

In Afslag Gewist, Debby Petter plays a woman who finds a letter in her letterbox just before her 70th birthday. The letter is from someone who is no longer alive. She takes it with her on a journey and can no longer ignore it. The letter forces her to reflect on the choices she made, and the choices she left behind.

A monologue about missed opportunities

Youp van 't Hek wrote the text for this performance. Debby Petter delivers that text in an empathetic and poignant way. You follow a woman who looks back on her life and wonders how differently things could have turned out. The performance touches on relatable feelings about choices, regret, and what could have been.

Musical accompaniment by Emma Finkers

Harpist Emma Finkers provides musical accompaniment for the performance. Her playing gives the monologue extra depth. The combination of spoken word and harp makes Afslag Gewist a special theatre experience at De Kleine Komedie in Amsterdam.
