— Ed Fringe Review ★★★★

It’s the mid-19th Century and Europe is being transformed by political and cultural revolution. In the midst of all this change, Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger is left a widow with an incredible inheritance: 400 unsold paintings by Vincent Van Gogh. This play follows the incredible true story of Johanna, who single-handedly ensured Van Gogh’s success. An exploration of grief, desire, guilt and duty, which illuminates the woman previously left in the artist’s shadow.

Performed by Kit Ford, Alex Velody, Blossom Durr and Dominika Wiatrowska.

Produced by Martha French
