About:

Vincent is a biographical one man show, written by Leonard Nimoy and performed by Jean-Michel Richaud. The play already toured New York, Los Angeles, and Paris among many other cities. It is based on over 800 letters between the Van Gogh brothers, Vincent and Theo. Jean-Michel Richaud grew up in Paris, and worked across Europe before settling in Los Angeles. He studied at Paris's National Conservatory for Dramatic Arts and at New York's Columbia University.

The performance will be in French with English subtitles.

Synopsis:

A few days after the death of little known painter Vincent Van Gogh, rumors are flying in Paris. Some say he was a penniless madman, a derelict and soon to be forgotten artist of trifling quality. Others denounce him as a wayward priest and a foreigner. Many whisper he took his own life in a moment of insanity. His brother Theo, Vincent's confidant and lifelong supporter, is enraged. Tonight, he hopes to set the record straight and tell the true story of Van Gogh.
