ABN Amro Shrinking to Shadow as Dutch Rue Pride of Nation Lost
This article is for subscribers only.
When the curtain rises at the Royal Theater in The Hague, an actor playing former ABN Amro Holding NV Chief Executive Officer Rijkman Groenink, an avid hunter, drops a dead deer upon the stage.
The rest of the drama, titled De Prooi, or The Prey, recounts the events that led the hunter to become the hunted, culminating in the 2007 sale and splintering of ABN Amro, then the largest Dutch bank. More shows were added in Amsterdam and Rotterdam after the production, based on a book by Jeroen Smit, sold out in those cities before opening.
