"Originally presented by the Guthrie Theatre, this multi-image dramatic staging received rave reviews when it was toured with Leonard Nimoy playing the one extraordinary role. The excitement and color of Van Gogh's life and art enhance this production through the projection of a set of slides that are easily handled and carefully cued to add impact to the words. The slides, an education in themselves, may be rented to use with your production. As the Variety critic put it, 'The actor doesn't have the stage to himself. He plays against the celebrated artist's brilliant painting projected on two large screens.' The total effect is dazzling, yet this remains an especially easy show to present, provided you have a capable actor for the single role"--Back cover.
Personal journal. Excerpt from Preface: "Like most personal journals, each composition that he did over time, was an expression of what was on his mind, what books he had just enjoyed - he was a fan of Jack London. He also had considerable discussion of the 1924 election that was won by Calvin Coolidge. He also included some "flashbacks," apparently from other previous writings including his experience as a doctor in World War I, that was mostly his experience with his own illness during that time. His interests were broad, his long discussion of ideas on how the calendar should be improved was impressive as he made a case on why it should be changed. As a doctor in Sisters, Oregon, he also reported on births, patient illnesses he was treating and who was not paying their bills. Local news of the region also was often described. Only he would have known the significance of pasting cigar bands on select pages of the journal. After reading the journal we have a sense of his life, accomplishments and interests."
