The passion and tormented beauty of the life of artist Vincent van Gogh is dramatized in this one-man play, which actor Leonard Nimoy adapted from letters written by the artist to his brother, Theo van Gogh. Theo struggles to convince the audience that his brother was not, in fact, a fool or a madman. Theo uses Vincent’s letters as evidence of his brother’s sanity and, in telling Vincent’s story, the actor transforms from Theo to Vincent and back again, sometimes instantaneously. Dan Woods starred in this moving story of art and artists.
