The Rise and Fall of Vinnie & Paul
A new musical by Neil Bastian
"Please don't speak badly of what happened in our little yellow house..."
The Rise and Fall of Vinnie & Paul is a rock gig musical about Van Gogh's attempt to set up an artists' colony with Paul Gauguin. It began as a dream of artistic brotherhood, but after only 8 weeks, it ended in a bloodbath: Vincent threatened Paul with a razor, then cut off his own ear.
Why did Vincent take such drastic action? The show attempts to explain with a daring new theory.
The concept album features Max Alexander-Taylor as Vinnie and Charlie McCullagh as Paul. You'll find a selection of videos below.
The song Wheatfield with Crows has been nominated for the Stiles+Drewe Best New Song Prize 2022.
