I saw this advertised at the Everyman, Cheltenham, and thought I’d share it with you. Here’s some blurb from the website:

Wed 24th - Sat 27th Jul

The Everyman Theatre Cheltenham, in association with Worcester Theatres and Malvernbard present a new play by Nick Wilkes

WHEN VINCENT MET JOHN

A hypothetical meeting between John Lennon and Vincent van Gogh. Vincent died in 1890, John died in1980, both of gunshot wounds to the chest. But imagine what might have happened, had the two greatest artists of their time, met?

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.
