SHORT SYNOPSIS
A fantasy musical recounting the adventures of Nurse Klivia and the
residents of her Rest Home. Their nasty landlord and next-door
neighbour Mr Boordevol is exasperated by their noisy goings-on and
eager to have them evicted.
The home acquires a new resident, Gerrit, a compulsive burglar in love
with pretty Jet and trying to reform; and a new neighbour, the
hairdresser Wouter, who seems to have some connection with Boordevol’s
past.
When Boordevol’s house is burgled, suspicion at once falls on Gerrit,
giving Boordevol the perfect excuse to have the Rest Home closed down
for good. Things look even worse when Gerrit is proved innocent
and Nurse Klivia herself becomes the prime suspect. But miracles
happen. Mr Boordevol has a surprising change of heart …
FULL SYNOPSIS
A fantasy musical recounting the adventures of Nurse Klivia and the
residents of her somewhat unusual Rest Home. Their nasty landlord
and next-door neighbour Mr Boordevol is eager to have them all evicted
so that he can repossess the property. When the Home’s resident
“crazy inventor”, The Engineer, causes yet another explosion, Bourdevol
drags them before the local magistrate, but is once again foiled.
Pretty Jet encounters Gerrit, a charming young orphan with a compulsion
to burgle. Nurse Klivia accepts him as a resident, on
condition that he tries to conquer his larcenous obsession and go
straight. The Home also acquires a new neighbour, the hairdresser
Wouter, who seems to have some mysterious connection with Mr
Boordevol’s past which makes both men uneasy. The Engineer tries
out on Boordevol his new pill designed to make nasty people nice, but
the effect turns out to be short-lasting, and Boordevol is left more
vindictive than ever.
One night, Boordevol’s house is burgled, and suspicion instantly falls
on Gerrit, giving Boordevol a foolproof excuse to demand that the Home
be closed down. When Gerrit is proved innocent, things look even
worse, since Nurse Klivia herself now becomes prime suspect.
But miracles can happen. Thanks to the influence of hairdresser
Wouter and the reactions of the neighbours, Boordevol has a surprising
change of heart. |
