Vincent in Brixton

Devonshire Park Theatre

Monday 1 - Saturday 6 June 2009

The Olivier Award Winning play embarks upon it’s first-ever UK theatre tour since its original staging, to rave reviews, at the National Theatre in 2002.

The young art dealer, but not yet a committed artist, Vincent Van Gogh arrives at 87 Hackford Road in Brixton looking for a room. He is full of contradictions; shy but lustful, innocent but shocking, all the while full of passion and drive - a passion and drive which would ultimately drive him into poverty and the asylum. As Vincent settles into his new lodging he finds himself inexplicably drawn to his grieving land-lady Ursula with whom he starts a turbulent, secret relationship that will change his life forever.

Based on historical facts gathered from letters between Vincent Van Gough and his brother Theo, Vincent in Brixton explores the facets of Van Gough’s life during his time in Brixton in 1873, charting his progress from art dealer, teacher and fervent preacher, to the beginnings of his creative talent.
