A moving portrait of the young Vincent van Gogh — a hit in the West End and on Broadway. Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Play.
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 immortality.
Vincent in Brixton premiered at the National Theatre, London, in April 2002, before transferring to the West End.
