DUTCH COURAGE The year is 1940. Germany invades the Netherlands. Jews are rounded up, Gypsies are exterminated, but the lowest of the lows were Holland's homosexual community. Based on fact, "Dutch Courage" tells the hilarious and moving story of a group of gay resistance workers, fighting the Germans in every way they can. Lead by Greta – a transsexual club owner and performer, she and right hand man Jakob recruit a young group of men Jopie, Rost , Jan and Willem. Together they wreak havoc through sabotage, seduction and blackmail. Yet when the clampdown comes – will Greta's protection be enough to get them through?
THE AFTER PARTY is located within the West Bank Cafe 407 west 42nd Street @ 9th Ave. 212-695-6909
