Step back to Victorian London with Solomon, a powerful solo play about artist Simeon Solomon.

Once a rising star of the Pre-Raphaelite art world, Solomon was a talented Jewish painter whose life and career were cut short by public scandal. This one-person show tells his story, from early success to rejection, as he reflects on art, identity, love and faith in a society that refused to accept him.

Written by Stuart Eggleton and performed by Jonathan Forrester, Solomon is an intimate and thought-provoking piece of theatre based on a remarkable true story.
