by Nicholas Wright
"It’s black and it’s bright, just like you said. It’s like stars in the sky."
Aged 20, Vincent, employed in the family business of art dealers, is transferred from his native Holland to the London branch. Taking lodgings with a widowed school teacher and her daughter; he discovers a house filled with secrets, falling first for the daughter and then the mother as he is drawn into the household’s web of duplicity.
Author Nicholas Wright presents Van Gogh as he genuinely might have been, on one level raw, ruthless, naive, tactless and comically direct and at another level he displays the instinctive arrogance of talent.
The play traces the transforming effects of love, sex and youthful adventure on the young artist’s burgeoning artistic genius. Winner of the 2003 Olivier Award for Best New Play.
An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books
