Committed

Full-Length Drama   |   3M, 1F
Synopsis: Committed is a work of historical fiction about the last two days of Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh's life. When his highly controversial and vulgar documentary causes a tremendous uproar in Amsterdam and abroad, Theo spirals downward. The play explores the collision of an artist's radical temperament and unyielding vision with modern political realities and the inevitable tragedy when uncompromising values clash. Can friendship, family, or love save Theo from his biggest threat - himself?

"Committed is a morality play wrapped around a thriller with a romance inside. I have wanted to produce this gripping play of politics and principles since the first day I read it!" Crystal Field, artistic director, Theater for the New City
