Van Gogh & Me
Jack Ellis
Dovecot Studios
13–30 Aug (not 17, 24)
Two painters. Nine weeks. At the end, an ear is severed. This brand-new one-person play journeys back to 1888, tracing the charged encounter between Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin in Arles. Jack Ellis seamlessly embodies a range of characters, exploring not only their volatile relationship but also his own lifelong obsession with the Dutch painter. Written by John Retallack and shaped around 24 paintings, the piece is darkly humorous and unflinching in its examination of how artistic ambition and fragile minds can be pushed to breaking point.
