Photos: First look at Original Productions Theatre's VAN GOGH'S IN THE ATTIC

A world premiere, break-neck comedy by Irish playwright and Abbey Theater favorite Sean Cooney set on the south coast of Ireland in the 1980s. Feral MacAdoo, suffering from a dissociative fugue after a bombing attack in Dublin, now believes he is the painter Vincent Van Gogh. A local priest, Father Brady, and Fritzi, son-in-law of the woman of the house, are wanted gunrunners and forgers. Vincent paints a series of self-portraits, which the two men use in one of their schemes. Mrs. Barnacle, the matron of the house and no one’s fool, calls the local press and claims she’s found a lost Van Gogh in the attic. Hilarity ensues!
