Next Stage is delighted to present Stanley, Pam Gems’ brilliant depiction of the unconventional life of artist Stanley Spencer.
Spencer is the wayward genius of modern British painting. Coming from humble origins, he never lost his rough edges despite being taken up by the smart set. His stubborn championing of ordinary people and local places as suitable subjects for religious painting was revolutionary. His appetite for life was infectious, though his attitude to women - and particularly his long-suffering wife – was controversial.
This is a warts and all account of the life of a truly English maverick – and as such contains scenes of an adult nature!
