KATHLEEN TURNER RETURNS TO THE WEST END
Stephen Sach's new play, Bakersfield Mist, features Kathleen Turner and Ian McDiarmid. Directed by Polly Teale, it will run at the Duchess Theatre from May to August 2014.
Maude Gutman has bought the ugliest thrift store painting she could get her hands on as a gag gift. After the painting is rejected, Maude tries to offload it at a yard sale where she learns it might be much more than junk—it just might be the “find of the century,” an undiscovered Jackson Pollock painting. When Lionel Percy, a renowned art expert, arrives at Maude’s trailer to investigate the painting’s potential, the two embark on a fiery debate over class, truth, and what we personally perceive as valuable. Inspired by true events, this play asks, what makes a work of art truly authentic?
