Risley’s Production Sheds New Light on the Van Gogh’s Life
Body:
The Risley Theatre is currently wowing audiences with its production of Leonard Nimoy’s Vincent, a one-person play about the life and times of Vincent Van Gogh. Directed by Ed Schiff, this extraordinary play gives us a glimpse into the tumultuous life of one of the world’s greatest artistic geniuses. As narrated by Van Gogh’s brother Theo, the story of the painter’s eventful life is slowly unfolded through a series of letters exchanged between the two brothers. Vincent stars Brendan Ryan, who adroitly takes on the role of both brothers.
