The fact that the two directors are on stage as well determines much of the speed of the play: witty, fast, not afraid of caricature, but also touching more serious topics. What makes Broere worth your while, are the scenes in which mentally disabled actors and the director-actors play together. More so since Hendrickx and Van Opstael are honest enough to allow their co-actors to shine and not to draw all attention to themselves. Spontaneous, direct and without fringes, that's Broere in a nutshell.
