Tony Award Winner Lee Hall, playwright of THE PITMEN PAINTERS now making its American premiere at Manhattan Theatre Club's (Lynne Meadow, Artistic Director; Barry Grove, Executive Producer) Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, is currently featured on The New Yorker website in 'Conversations With John Lahr'.
Manhattan Theatre Club's American premiere of Tony Award winner Lee Hall's THE PITMEN PAINTERS begins the final five weeks of its limited engagement tonight.
As Lee Hall's The Pitmen Painters, inspired by the true story of a collection of miners who art history books now refer to as The Ashington Group, commences, the title characters are quite figuratively blank canvases. Raised to spend nine hours a day working the northern English coal mines from the time they're still boys, the small gathering of fellows who decided they wanted to learn a bit about culture through weekly visits from a university art professor have never set foot in a gallery and know nothing of the great works most of their countrymen would recognize as part of common knowledge. Their understanding is that there is some 'secret' behind art that only the elite know about, giving them the ability to determine what's good and what isn't.
