Henrietta

Inspired by the true stories of love, sacrifice and bravery in the Netherlands during the Second World War, Henrietta is about a thirst for adventure, the need we all feel to establish our identity, and how ordinary people can be capable of extraordinary courage. Based on a true story from writer Katie Lam’s own family history Henrietta tells the story of a young girl living in occupied Amsterdam during the second world war. Henrietta lives with her mother, father, sister and brother and wants an adventure – until she gets one she didn’t bargain for. The work asks us to consider family, individualism and what it means to be brave.
