Amazon Review
Are artists subject to the same rules of behavior as the rest of us? That's the central question of Pam Gems's West End and Broadway hit drama about the life and loves of real-life British painter Stanley Spencer. The answer to that question appears to be "yes"--but only up to a point. And the price can be staggering. Gems's Spencer is a great talent, but is also a black hole of ego. With grotesquely childlike insistence, he tries to juggle his long-suffering wife, his manipulative mistress, his sterling reputation, and his beloved home, but winds up losing them all--along with his fortune and health. In the end, only his talent remains. But for one moment we're allowed to see that it's no longer enough--the loss has penetrated even the hermetic world in his heart.
