A new play based on Vincent Van Gogh’s sketch of the same name, Sorrow, 1882, is a


meditation on Van Gogh’s trials with addiction, mania, and suicidal ideation, and his


relationships with the people who loved him. Through the unreliable eyes of the artist in


the throes of his illness, the piece is based on the letters Vincent wrote to his brother


Theo, published by Theo’s wife, Jo Van Gogh-Bonger. The play is written in blank verse


in an effort to paint with words the way Van Gogh painted so beautifully with color. The


piece was conceived from the deeply personal experience of loving someone struggling


with substance misuse, and is supported by Outside Edge Theatre Company, the UK’s


only theatre company and participatory arts charity focused on improving the lives of


people affected by any form of addiction, including their families, carers and champions.


Proceeds of the evening will be going back to OETC and their incredible community


work.



Written and directed by Katherine Lyle. Cast includes Nathan Ricard, Akshay Sharan,


and Frances Graham. Assistant directed by Claire Adams. Produced by CKC


Productions.
