Vincent died in 1890, John died in 1980, both of gunshot wounds to the chest. But imagine what might have happened, had the two greatest artists of their time, met?
Vincent van Gogh was a nineteenth-century Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art.
John Lennon was an English singer, songwriter, musician and peace activist who gained worldwide fame with The Beatles.
Around five years before their deaths both men went through profound change.
Vincent van Gogh finally renounced his religious ambitions and began to paint in earnest, and despite great arguments with antagonist Paul Gaugin created his life’s great masterworks.
John Lennon renounced sex, drugs and rock & roll and began five years seclusion as a family unit, and despite great arguments with antagonist Paul McCartney created a son, and what would be his last album.
This play takes place at their exact moment of crisis and decision, exploring love, death, art and legacy.
Age : 16+
