“Uncle Vincent”
by Rebekah King
Performed by Philip Kingscott
Produced by Peapod Productions
A young man stands in front of us, trying to persuade us to fund a museum to honour his uncle. He is visibly uncomfortable: he wasn’t meant to be giving this presentation. It was supposed to be Jo, his mother.
‘I didn’t ask to be born amongst all those paintings,
but like it or not, I had to deal with the collection.’
When Vincent van Gogh dies at the age of 37, shortly followed by his brother Theo, it is left to Theo’s widow Jo to carry on his legacy. Thanks to Jo and her son Vincent Willem the painter of Sunflowers is one of the most beloved artists in the world.
Through the words of the artist, his brother, his sister-in-law and nephew, discover the genius that the world almost forgot…
