Quality documentary
The problem with this whole series is not so much the production value. The arrangement of the different episodes, highlighting different parts of the whole theater history, is done well too. Jeroen Krabbe is a conservative and somewhat 'dusty', but very competent presenter, who can add in some of his own experiences.
I think the reason why this whole documentary feels a little off is that there is a lot of 'old school' actors passing by that can tell great stories about their work in theater just after WW2. These stories are great and show the progression in how theater was made very well. The downside though, is that everything seems very uptight and conservative and that many of these older actors are complaining about how change is bad and how a newer generation didn't do their job well. This opinion is fine, but it's too bad that Krabbe as presenter and interviewer never gets too critical about what the actors are telling him about.
Asides from this, I might be somewhat biased about Dutch contemporary actors and their (lack of) skills; making it feel a little laughable at times to hear them talk about their profession.
All things considered though, this is a very decent series, with many nice shots from early 50's and 60's theater.
