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.

"Vervloekte massa, wispelturig volk...
Verheerlijkers van toekomst en verleden,
Vertrappers en vernielers van het heden."

Lanoye is begenadigd qua taalvaardigheid, in die zin is hij dé man om Shakespeares poëzie te moderniseren, op een kleurrijke manier die ook nog eens zalig bekt voor spelers op de planken.
Wat ik jammer vind is dat de taal soms veeleer een doel op zich is, geen middel om inzicht te bieden in de psychologie, zoals bij de oude bard...

Really nice and enjoyable first part of a Belgian adaptation of Shakespeare’s kings plays, in Dutch. This one covers Richard the Second and Henry the Fourth. Great word plays close to the originals
