About this ebook
A moving portrait of the young Vincent van Gogh - a hit in the West End and on Broadway. Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Play.
Brixton, 1873. A brash young Dutchman rents a room in the house of an English widow. Three years later he returns to Europe on the first step of a journey which will end in breakdown, death and immortality.
Vincent in Brixton premiered at the National Theatre, London, in April 2002, before transferring to the West End.

'a brilliant portrait of the artist as a young man' Guardian
'Nicholas Wright has convincingly imagined himself into the life of the 20-year-old Vincent van Gogh... superlative... An evening to savour' Evening Standard
