WHEN HENRI FED OSCAR

written by Michael Gannon directed by John Dunne

A London Irish Theatre/Red Mick Theatre Co-Production featuring Adrian-Jon Barry as Henri, Nik Wood-Jones as Oscar and Rita Evelyn Smyth as Yvette/Goulue.

With an opening act in a “respectable” brothel in Paris, where Toulouse-Lautrec created many of his most famous paintings, the two verbally joust and tease about their art. They are kept company by a prostitute, Yvette as well as Louise Weber (the Glutton), a mad cancan dancer. Wilde arrives in anticipation of a meal made by Toulouse-Lautrec who was well known and respected as a cook. But what had Henri in mind for his friend? You will be as surprised as Oscar was.

Both Henri and Oscar were in their prime but in the second act, the two are in a sorry decline with a short time to live.

The Irish Club and Brasserie Toulouse-Lautrec will be providing full sit down meals before and during the play at fantastically good prices based on Toulouse-Lautrec’s own recipes published after his death. Feed yourself on top quality French food and delight at the relationship between these two geniuses of paint and prose.
