The play features an artist who has spent centuries painting every single thing in the world. As she and her companion near the end of their lifetime's work, one thing remains: a blank wall.
The show is directed by Absent Theatre's artistic director Amy Gunn.

About the venues:
The first venue, The Harrison Pub, has hosted two of our shows before and we are very excited to return there. We are very grateful for their continuing support of our work and use of their rehearsal space.
Secondly, Wilton's Music Hall has very kindly allowed us use of The Study, a studio space in this historic building. We feel immensely privileged to include this venue in our tour.
The Theatre Au Chapeau Rouge has invited us to participate in their English -speaking theatre festival. We are thrilled to be presenting our work to an international audience and eagerly anticipate the challenge of flying an entire set to another country!
Our final venue is a homecoming for both Amy and Eleanor. Since meeting at the University of Sheffield, and spending many hours rehearsing, performing and attending lectures at The Theatre Workshop, it is a joy to return as alumni to present a professional show.
Tickets:
UK tickets are available on the door on the day of the show and priced £5/4.
