What was it that led Vincent van Gogh to sever his left ear and give it to a prostitute? The Sower, by California native Schuyler Mastain, is a ninety minute, one-act drama led by an ensemble of five Los Angeles based actors that explores a powerful moment in the life of one of our most celebrated artists. As part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. The Sower opens June 2nd at Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre - 5636 Melrose Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90038.
It's Christmas morning, 1888, and a young artist named Vincent wakes in a hospital bed somewhere in the south of France to find his left ear missing. As the day matures and he is tended to by his Nurse and Doctor, Vincent begins to remember what it was that drove him to commit such a heinous act of self-mutilation. When his brother, Theo, and fellow artist, Paul Gauguin, arrive to determine the condition of the madman, he is confronted with a cold, hard reality that he had rather not unearth.
Starring Cam Deaver as Theo, Isaak Gracia as Gauguin, Nicholas S. McDonald as Doctor Rey, Kayla Eva as the Nurse, and Schuyler Mastain as Vincent, The Sower is presented by "The Bear's Pursuit", an LA based theatre group. Mature subject matter. Not for the faint of heart.
