Remarkably, most people would not know that Vincent van Gogh spent some of his younger years in Brixton and this poignant piece of theatre focuses on some of those years as an Art dealer in London.

Based around letters written to his brother, this story depicts the relationship Gogh had with his landlady, Ursula Loyer (Lin Blakley).

The scene is set within a simple, fully functional 19th Century kitchen, which gave the entire piece its authenticity and certainly made this production memorable.

Mark Edel-Hunt (Van Gogh) conveyed the beginnings of this unharnessed genius with stylish passion, which resonated through the entire company of five, most notably Nicola Sangster who portrayed Gogh’s sister Anna with charm and wit, so befitting this masterpiece.

At no point through the two hours did this appreciative audience feel fidgety, but were embroiled in this high status piece of theatre. This emotional and passionate work was truly a delight, and maybe urged the audience into further research of this priceless artist.
