In 1999, in the suburban town of Aalst, two parents murdered their children. The ensuing high-profile and dramatic trial led to much soul searching in the Belgian media.

Working from source material including statements and interviews, TV footage of the trial and a documentary on the murder investigation, in 2005 Belgian theatre company Victoria dramatised the case. Born in Europe, this new translation has been re-worked, re-shaped and re-imagined for a UK audience.
