The Rise and Fall of Vinnie & Paul
A new musical by Neil Bastian
2-min summary video
Van Gogh's house-share with Paul Gauguin started as an artistic bromance but ended in a bloodbath: Vincent threatened Paul with a razor, then cut off his own ear.
Why? This electrifying two-man musical proposes that Vincent was in love with Paul, and cruelly rejected by him.
With heart-stopping ballads and hair-raising rockers, The Rise and Fall of Vinnie & Paul blasts the roof off the little yellow house to reveal the pain and passion within.
