The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 series Elaine chats with director Katie Jackson about their new play Visiting Cezanne. We chat the industry as a whole, coming through the pandemic, being nonbinary in the arts and much more. Visiting CezanneHow does an artist keep going when all seems hopeless? Seeking an answer, a failed artist in New York visits the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2016. From there she unexpectedly travels to an artist’s studio in southern France in 1900. She desperately wants to get back to her home in 2016 but Paul Cezanne, another obscure artist with his own problems, is not being helpful. Also ensnared in this crisis are Cezanne’s gardener and an art historian from Utah. This play's creative team is Glasgow-based.SHOW: TICKETSWEBSITE: redrovertheatre.comKATIE JACKSON Katie is a theatre director based between Glasgow and London.
