Op Hoop van Zegen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Op Hoop van Zegen (Dutch for "Trusting Our Fate in the Hands of God"), is a Dutch play about a fishermen's tragedy. It is still staged, and remains the most popular play by Dutch dramatist Herman Heijermans.

Herman Heijermans (1864–1924) was the leading Dutch dramatist at the close of the 19th century was a writer of strong realistic and socialistic tendencies who single-handedly brought Dutch theatre into the modern time.

There are four films based on the play.

Danny de Munk played the leading role 15 year old Barend in 1986 and also sung the song Ratsmodee in this film.
