Tom Lanoye (his name is pronounced the French way: /lanwa/) was born August 27, 1958 in the Belgian city Sint Niklaas. He is a novelist, poet, columnist, screenwriter and playwright. His literary work has been published and/or performed in over fifteen languages. Lanoye lives and works in Antwerp (Belgium) and Cape Town (South Africa).
Lanoye is not only a writer, but also an entrepreneur. As the youngest son of a butcher, he self-published his first work. In his own words, 'Just like all the punk bands did in those days: out of dissatisfaction with the existing structures, and to learn the trade from the inside out'.
Lanoye started out as an enfant terrible, but has become one of the most widely read and critically acclaimed authors in his language area. A writer that devotes himself to all forms of text and writing (for books, newspapers, periodicals and printed matter as well as for plays, cabaret and vocal performances) and makes regular appearances at all the major European theatre festivals.

The last piece in the series is “Atropa. Revenge of Peace” by Tom Lanoye (after the Latin name of the belladonna – atropa belladonna). The play looks at power from the point of view of the victims, starting from the Greek tragedies of the Trojan War. So in this trilogy, Cassiers wants to show power in different stages: the (devilish) seduction by power, the poisoning by power and ultimately the death throes of power.
