Towards the end of his short life, Vincent Van Gogh, who suffered from mental illness, was treated by Doctor Paul Gachet. Vincent writes to his brother Theo: “A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers- by only see a wisp of smoke.” The 37-year-old painter died of a self-inflicted wound in 1890.

On 15 May 1990, The Portrait of Doctor Gachet was sold, within three minutes, for 75 million dollars.

“The true essence of cabaret-style theatre leaves you wanting more and more as the show goes on.” – Devon Koen, THE HERALD

“This entrancing cabaret musical as the heart and soul of a West End Spectacular” – Richard Stamp, THE WEE REVIEW, UK

“It’s an extraordinary piece of work.  Anderson’s is a name to follow. Unequivocally.” – Robyn Sassen

The life and art of Vincent van Gogh is presented in a dazzling new light. Returning from a triumphant international tour at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and nominated for a whopping 6 NALEDI THEATRE AWARDS (2024), VINCENT, a multimedia pocket musical, (National Arts Festival Bronze Standard Bank Ovation Award 2022, Fleur Du Cap Nomination 2023, OffFest Nomination Edinburgh 2023) tells of a complex man with a ruthless drive to create and a deep-seated desire to love and be loved. The show tells of the artist’s search for love, through reimagined versions of popular musical theatre, pop, rock and jazz numbers.
