Details

Tells the story of Simeon Solomon, a queer Jewish Pre-Raphaelite painter. The play delves into Solomon's journey of self-discovery, set against the backdrop of a Victorian world characterized by harsh judgment. The play unfolds as Solomon navigates the complexities of his desires and aspirations, all the while existing in a world that casts a critical eye upon those who deviate from societal expectations. The play comes at a time when the nearly forgotten Simeon Solomon, who died in St Giles Workhouse in 1905, is having a resurgence, as his work is once again exhibited in major collections around the world.
