Along with other theatres, and in the interest of the health and welfare of everyone who comes through the Orange Tree’s doors, we have made the difficult decision to cancel all OT performances until further notice.

Journalist Deborah Linton on Maya Arad Yasur's play Amsterdam

When Matthew Xia first spoke to me about Amsterdam, it was clear that while this is a play triggered by Europe then, it is overwhelmingly a piece for Europe now.
