Eastern Theater Presents "Inventing Van Gogh"
The Theater Department of Ohio University Eastern Campus will close its 2009—2010 season with Steven Dietz’s haunting drama “Inventing Van Gogh.” Performances are scheduled for May 13- 15 and 20- 22 in the Shannon Hall Theater. Thursday evening performances begin at 7 p.m. with all seats $4; Friday and Saturday performances begin at 8 p.m. with general admission tickets $6 and senior citizen and student discount tickets $4.
“Inventing Van Gogh” is the story of the final Van Gogh portrait, painted just before the artist’s death, which has never been seen. Until now. Patrick Stone, a contemporary painter, is hired to forge the final masterpiece and finds himself squaring off, across the years, with Van Gogh himself. The result is a compelling mystery about the obsession to create and the fine line that separates truth from myth.
