Sorrow, 1882
After a very successful digital rehearsed reading, Claire is so excited to be co-producing and assistant directing a public rehearsed reading of Sorrow, 1882, a beautiful new play by Katherine Lyle.
Sorrow, 1882 is a meditation on Van Gogh’s trials with addiction, mania, and suicidal ideation and his relationships with the people who loved him. Through the unreliable eyes of the artist in the throes of his illness, the piece is based on the letters Vincent wrote to his brother Theo, published by Theo’s wife, Jo Van Gogh-Bonger. The play is written in blank verse in an effort to paint with words the way Van Gogh painted so beautifully with color.
