About me
My name is Esther van der Werf, originally from Groningen, but now I live in Zeist. I have followed a musical and acting education and in recent years I have gained experience on different sets - from comedy to drama and even western. In recent years I have been nominated 6 times for an acting award. I am always open to nice collaborations.
