SUMMARY:Van Gogh and Me
DESCRIPTION:Van Gogh and Me \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Van Gogh and Me \n\n\n\nDirected by John Retallack \n\n\n\nAu Contraire Productions presents four preview performances of Van Gogh & Me. \n\n\n\nOlivier Award-winning theatre maker John Retallack and acclaimed actor Jack Ellis are reuniting for the first time in over 40 years with Van Gogh & Me\, a deeply personal new play exploring the relationship between Van Gogh and Gauguin.  \n\n\n\nWith over 20 paintings\, it tells the extraordinary story of the intense\, nine-week collaboration between Van Gogh and Gauguin in Arles in 1888. \n\n\n\nPerformed by Jack Ellis\, who moves fluidly between an unstable\, chaotic Van Gogh and a domineering\, self-assured Gauguin\, the piece dissects a tragic clash of egos. \n\n\n\nBy playing both men (and himself)\, Ellis lays bare the undercurrents of toxic masculinity and competitive pride that fuelled their isolation — bringing to life a creative partnership that\, though profound in its impact on modern art\, was to prove personally destructive to both men. \n\n\n\nAs the show ends\, the audience is invited to remain for a 30-minute interactive gathering. Spectators can step directly onto the stage\, examine Rachel Marston’s canvas reproductions up close\, and discuss the play openly with Ellis. \n\n\n\nVan Gogh & Me will premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe on August 15 at the Dovecot Studios and have a run of 21 performances. \n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Van Gogh and Me Poster\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nStandard – £15.00 \n\n\n\nPay more – £20.00 \n\n\n\nPay less – £10.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 01 and Sunday 02 August 2026 at 1.00pm and 3.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour plus 30 minutes optional post-show discussion with the performer. \n\n\n\nAge guidance:  \n\n\n\n12+ \n\n\n\nWarning: \n\n\n\nThis show contains a trigger warning; audience discretion is advised. \n\n\n\nGood to know: \n\n\n\nPlease note that all performances for this show will be performed at Iffley Village Hall\, Church Way\, Iffley\, Oxford\, OX4 4EJ. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Old Fire Station\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Fire Station in Oxford is an arts centre with a unique social mission\, combining creativity with community impact.
