Haunted by his family's past, Vincent van Gogh wrestles with his demons in the coal mines of southern Belgium in order to find his true voice as an artist. In this one-man play, Theo van Gogh shares his perspective with his wife, Johanna, recounting Vincent's childhood in Zundert, the influence of Les Misérables, Vincent's ministry in the coal mines, his mental insecurities, and his ultimate decision to pick up the brush. With keen specificity, actor Joe Coffey brings multiple characters to life to share this unknown tale of Vincent's earlier years.
