Synopsis

Brixton, 1873. A brash young Dutchman rents a room in the house of an English widow. Three years later he returns to Europe on the first step of a journey which will end in breakdown, death and immorality. Based on the true facts of Vincent van Gogh's early life in London, Vincent in Brixton is about the transforming effect of love, sex and artistic adventure on unformed talent. It traces the birth of genius.

Vincent In Brixton was premiered at the National Theatre in London in 2003 in a production directed by Richard Eyre, before transferring to the West End. It was revived as a touring production by The Icarus Theatre Collective and the Original Theatre Company in 2009.

Synopsis

As Europe plunges into war and America remains in the throes of the Great Depression, Nick's Pacific Street Saloon Bar, a seedy San Francisco waterfront honky-tonk, is a way-station welcoming lost souls of all kinds. Into this world of marble-game machines, drunks, evil vice cops, and comically bad entertainers strides Kitty Duvall, either an internationally renowned Burlesque dancer or possibly a 'two-dollar whore'. Peopled by a profusion of wistful dreamers, pining lonely hearts and beer-hall philosophers, the play offers audiences a rich tapestry of human life.

The Time of Your Life was first presented at the Shubert Theatre, New Haven, USA, on 7 October 1939. It was revived at the Finborough Theatre in London in November 2008.
