Towards the end of his short life, Vincent Van Gogh, who suffered from mental illness, was treated by Doctor Paul Gachet. 

Vincent writes to his brother Theo: “A great fire burns within me, but no one stops to warm themselves at it, and passers-by only see a wisp of smoke.” The 37-year-old painter died of a self-inflicted wound in 1890.

On May 15, 1990, The Portrait of Doctor Gachet was sold, within three minutes, for 82 million dollars.

“The true essence of cabaret-style theatre leaves you wanting more and more as the show goes on.” – Devon Koen, The Herald

“The show was a wow. People sat there afterwards in a kind of trance-like state”. – Robyn Cohen, The Cape Robyn

** “Vincent has the heart and soul of a West-End spectacular” – TheWeeReview, UK

*** “His performance was flawless and his ability to bring the sad tale to life with compassion and warmth has left a lasting impression” – TheatreAndArts, UK
