About this show
It’s a sip and paint. It’s Sotheby’s. It’s karaoke night. Strap in, because whatever it is, Van Gogh is back and he has a side hustle. This is the real Van Gogh Immersive Experience. Emphasis on immersive. Donna Oblongata (Leeway Transformation Award, Jilline Ringle Solo Performance Award) is 'brimming with compassion and monstrously funny' (PlayOnMKE.com). She has sold out theatres in NYC and LA and performed internationally in Slava’s Snowshow. 'A delightfully unhinged gem of fringe theatre' * (ShinyLife.co.uk). 'An uproariously good time… side-splittingly funny' (AdventuresInTheatreland.com). 'Inspired lunacy' (TalkinBroadway.com).

IT’S IRONIC that an artist who sold only one painting during his lifetime is now box office gold, whether for exhibitions of his art or theatrical productions which explore aspects of his life.
