Six Paintings. Six Playwrights. Six New PlaysStabbings, weddings, manifestos, and a post-apocalyptic wasteland. These are a few of the things that happen when CommBeau's Master Works series once again brings fine art to life. This time six Van Gogh paintings were chosen: "Night Cafe", "The Man is at Sea", "Skull with Burning Cigarette", Undergrowth with Two Figures", "Doctor Gachet", and "The Drinkers".The Master Works Series is a program of Commedia Beauregard. Each series of plays translated a selection of one artist's work, or one museum's collection into plays for the stage. The plays are each approximately 15 minutes in length and can be performed together as one complete work, or separately.
