INTERVIEW: POL HEYVAERT

The director and writer talks about Aalst, the National Theatre of Scotland/Victoria touring co-production which examines the murder of two children by their parents in the Belgian town of Aalst in 1999. Excerpt.

I didn’t want to do a straight investigation – it would have made the show too confusing.
