Vincent intimately relates the life story of the iconic painter, Vincent Van Gogh, from the perspective of his brother Theo. Based on actual letters between the pair, the play goes beyond mere biography of the misunderstood artist by celebrating the courage, passion, and lust for life that art kindles in us all.
Penfold co-founders Ryan Crowder and Nathan Jerkins return on alternate nights to revive their award-winning performances (Austin Chronicle’s “Best Two Men in a One Man Show”) in the play’s single, extraordinary role originated by Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock in Star Trek). The production also features music by a local French jazz artists, Julie Slim and Shirley Johnson.
“A very fine piece of acting by Jerkins…I unreservedly recommend.”
–Sun News Austin
“Crowder owns the room… Expressive… empathetic… excruciatingly human.”
–Austin Chronicle
