​​Neil Bastian is justly recognised by the gods of musical theatre for his alchemical hook-making - Buchan & Barne ​(Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York)

Summary

"Please don't speak badly of what happened in our little yellow house..."

Van Gogh's houseshare with Paul Gauguin started as a dream of artistic brotherhood but ended in a nightmare: after only 8 weeks together they had a blazing row and Vincent cut off his own left ear.​

What drove Vincent to such an terrible act of self harm? And how culpable was Paul Gauguin?

With hair-raising rockers and heartstopping ballads, The Rise and Fall of Vinnie & Paul blasts the roof off the little yellow house to reveal the pain and passion within.
