Vincent in Brixton

A dramatization of the time that Van Gogh spent in Brixton in the 1870s--a period before he became a painter and one that changed him completely. Vincent develops a rapport with a widow twice his age, which blossoms into a full-blown love affair, only to be cruelly curtailed by the arrival of his fiercely puritan young sister. From the author "of Cressida, Mrs. Klein, " and the recent adaptation of Wedekind's "Lulu."
