An Edinburgh Fringe 2025 Sell-out show:
Monet’s paintings are world famous. We all know his water lilies, but how much do we know of the man?
This new play explores his life and loves: his two marriages, the devastating death of his first wife, followed by the erratic behaviour of his lover and the desperation prompting his suicide attempt. We become privy to his thoughts on fellow impressionists and how he coped with his failing eyesight, which tormented him. It could have stopped him painting… or did it?
This one-man montage of his life will be performed by award-winning actor, Stephen Smith and was written by Joan Greening.
(This event takes place at York Medical Society, 23 Stonegate, York YO1 8AW. There is no bar at the venue: please feel free to bring your own drinks.)
