- "Starting from the basic premise that Vincent van Gogh stayed in a Brixton rooming house in the 1870s, from which he returned to Holland a changed man, this play imagines how a love affair developed between the young painter and a woman twice his age."

- ""In 1873, at the age of 20, Vincent Van Gogh rented a room in a suburb of London while he was being groomed for a career as an art dealer in his family's business. This heralded play produced by Lincoln Center traces the transforming effects of love, sex and youthful adventure on Van Gogh's still unformed talent, portraying him as he might have been and supposing a poignant affair with his landlady that might have happened."--Publisher's description."@en
