written and performed by Tom Neenan

In 2024, writer, actor and semi professional painter Tom Neenan received an invitation to paint the portrait of an 86 year old man.

But what promised to be a simple commission turns into an often hilarious and occasionally excruciating exploration of past failures, artistic missteps and current worries, ranging from body image to AI.

A comedy storytelling show about art, people and how people represent themselves through art, but somehow not as pretentious as that sounds.

Tom Neenan is a BAFTA and Writers Guild nominated writer, actor and comedian. Oh and painter. He was head writer of BBC Twos hit comedy The Mash Report as well as a writer for Prince Andrew The Musical and Skys Silo.

Alex Pearson Productions, in association with Glass Splinters, is thrilled to be bringing a fresh take on this classic tale of love, violence, and what it means to live a life under the spotlight.
