Having been lucky enough to get one of my paintings accepted to be exhibited at Richmond Theatre during the run of ‘Pitmen Painters’, I was delighted to receive a complimentary ticket to the opening night.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, so was very pleasantly surprised by a passionate and inspiring play that delivers not just an excellent debate about art, but also about socialism, capitalism, war, class, health and the importance of education. All executed with warmth and humour.
