Swimming With Van Gogh

A play about sex and boundaries in love and art.  What and where are the limits of the creative spirit?  Set in a lighthouse on the shores of Lake Michigan, Claire, a mid-career painter fights being pigeonholed as a “woman’s perspective painter” – Georgia O’Keefe’s complaint her entire career.  At  odds with this goal of breaking sexual category, is the main character’s struggle with her own dwindling sexual appeal.  Her male counter-part is sleeping with a 26-year-old; she is invisible to the world as a woman of a certain age.   Enter her new 24 year old assistant – “a walking ad for…well…something illegal.” 

Cast requirements: 2 women, 2 men, 1 any gender
