At Break Of Day
Noel Greig
A play about Van Gogh’s life from the time he worked in the coal mines as an apprentice preacher through the time of his father’s death.
It’s about family relationships, genius, passion and its toll both on the passionate artist and those around him.
"The interesting and not altogether familiar subject matter makes for a fine new chapter in a book we thought we'd already read." - Backstage West"Stephen Fife’s play, Break of Day, takes a look at the man behind the paintings. Instead of analyzing the paintings, Fife puts the focus on the painter and creates a play with meaning and beauty. Fife’s script was marterfully created. With clever dialogue, he tells a tale of a tortured soul’s confusion without letting Van Gogh’s inner conflicts become boringly obvious to the audience."
