Vincent in Brixton

What I wanted was someday, somehow to be the cause of something remarkable.

Before the sunflowers, before the madness, before the fame, there was a quiet kitchen in South London.

It’s 1873, when Ursula’s modest boarding house is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of a young lodger by the name of Vincent Van Gogh. As the household is thrown into chaos, the intimacy of daily life sparks something unexpected between them: longing, purpose and transformation.

The OT presents the first major revival of Nicholas Wright’s Olivier Award-winning Vincent in Brixton. It is directed by the OT’s Carne Associate Director Georgia Green, following her much-admired production of The Mikvah Project.

Niamh Cusack returns to the OT following her scorching performance in That Face.
