Vincent in Brixton
by
Nicholas Wright
Directed by Mike Bullimore
13th - 20th May 2017
What did happen at 87 Hackford Road in Brixton in the early 1870s?
Research has shown that the young Vincent van Gogh stayed there and
that he shared the house with the widow Ursula Loyer, her daughter
Eugenie and another lodger called Sam. Through a series of intimate
scenes in the kitchen of the house, Nicholas Wright's beautiful 'what
if' play imagines the relationships between these characters as they
wrestle with love and depression, politics and art. A fascinating and
atmospheric play.
