He sketches his lover, Dot, and the painting becomes a work of art in a gallery 100 years later admired by visitors and critics. But what happened to the lives of the characters in the painting

Critics variously call this musical “a masterpiece, daring, thrilling….. the second half , usually regarded as an anticlimax, also works powerfully in Sam Buntrock’s fresh, searching and brilliantly designed production….. Irresistible” the Daily Telegraph. “David Farley’s elegant white set and Timothy Bird’s staggeringly inventive projected animation…..look more stunning than ever….. and experience of aching loveliness” The Times.
