VAN GOGH / GAUGUIN Hip Pocket Theatre 1987

I've found a trove of sketches and groundplans ansd such from a variety of different shows I've designed over the decades and this is one. VAN GOGH / GAUGUIN by Johnny Simons and Douglas Balentine, originally staged back in 1978 this revival at Oak Acres Amphitheatre in 1987 was directed by Balentine. In the original production Toulouse Lautrec was portrayed by an actor. I designed this 3/4 scale puppet for the later show and performed it myself. Leah Buchanan & Paula Knowles are the fetching young things seen in this publicity photo by Michael Bodycomb.
