Independent Richmond theatre, Orange Tree Theatre, has unveiled the first production images from its latest show Vincent in Brixton.

The production gets underway with its opening night today (Friday, 20 March) which sees Jeroen Frank Kales as Vincent van Gogh and Niamh Cusack as Ursula with Rawaed Asde, Amber Van Der Brugge, and Ayesha Ostler completing the cast. 

Carne Associate Director Georgia Green directs Niamh Cusack in her return to the OT in the first major revival of Nicholas Wright's Vincent in Brixton.

The show premiered at the National Theatre, winning the 2003 Olivier Award for Best New Play. 

Artistic Director at the Orange Tree Theatre, Tom Littler, said: "The Orange Tree continues to be a meeting point for theatrical debutants and veterans: a place where people take their first steps into professional theatre alongside those who have shaped our landscape.

"It's a particular pleasure that Richard Eyre, who directed the first production of Vincent in Brixton, will be in the building directing Strindberg while our Associate Director Georgia Green, who first studied here as a student, is directing the first major London revival of Nicholas Wright's gorgeous play." 

As the name suggests, Vincent in Brixton, follows the time when dutch artist Vincent van Gogh lived in 87 Hackford Road between 1873-1874 at the home of Ursula Loyer and her daughter Eugenie.

Vincent in Brixton runs at Orange Tree Theatre from 21 March to 18 April 2026.
