The Prostitution Plays - John Roman Baker - Bog

THE PROSTITUTION PLAYS are a unique chronicle of male prostitution in Amsterdam at the turn of the 21st Century.

A lost generation of young men, disenfranchised by the fall of communism in central and eastern Europe travelled to the Netherlands to find a better life.

In 4 short plays their experiences of 4 different kinds of prostitution are presented: in a brothel; a bar; an hotel room and on Amsterdam's Central Station.

The plays are the creative product of research conducted by Aputheatre's John Roman Baker and Rod Evan between 1998 and 1999.

Since 2000 the landscape has changed. The growth of the internet and council policies to clean up Amsterdam plus tougher security on Europe's borders have changed this way of life, perhaps forever.
