Vincent died in 1890, John died in 1980, both of gunshot wounds to
the chest. But imagine what
might
have happened, had the two greatest artists of their time,
met?
Vincent
van Gogh was a nineteenth-century Dutch Post-Impressionist painter
who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history
of Western art.
Although
he was not widely appreciated during his lifetime, he is now famed
for the great vitality of his works characterised by expressive and
emotive use of brilliant colour, energetic application of impastoed
paint and highly expressive brushwork that contributed to the
foundations of modern art.
John Lennon was an English singer, songwriter, musician and peace
activist who gained worldwide
fame
with The Beatles. Lennon went on to have a distinguished solo
career and, with his wife Yoko Ono, was an icon of the 1960s
counterculture revolution and an anti-war activist. His songwriting
partnership with Paul McCartney remains the most successful in
history, and his life and works changed modern music
forever.
Five years before their deaths both men went through profound
change.
Vincent van Gogh finally renounced his religious ambitions and began to paint in earnest, and despite great arguments with antagonist Paul Gaugin created his life’s great masterworks.
John Lennon renounced sex, drugs and rock & roll and began five
years seclusion as a family unit, and despite great arguments with
antagonist Paul McCartney created a son, and what would be his last
album.
Is art more important than life? Which endures? And what has more value, contentment or legacy?
With
the clock ticking and with each man straining for something, is
there a way forward for either of these two passionate,
unpredictable, temperamental and volatile
artists?
This
play takes place at their exact moment of crisis and decision, a
spiralling shout of life, hate, love, death, art and
legacy.

I always enjoy watching Mark Farrelly perform, he is talented and versatile. This was an interesting piece, entertaining yet thought provoking. My only complaint was with the venue, as the seats seemed unnecessarily closer together than on previous visits, making it uncomfortable watching the show. Fortunately the show was only just over an hour long, any longer and I would have needed a chiropractor to help me leave. -
