Together with Anton Peters and Cornelis Roobol, Johannes Tjasink was responsible for the theatre in the middle of the nineteenth century. After the forced departure of Jan Eduard de Vries, the actor set out to raise the standard of the acting. It would unfortunately be a long time before Dutch theatre was back at that level.
