The Bakelite Masterpiece at Tarragon Theatre

Tarragon Theatre presents the world premiere of The Bakelite Masterpiece, written by Tarragon playwright-in-residence Kate Cayley, directed by Tarragon’s Artistic Director Richard Rose and starring two award-winning, powerhouse actors, Geordie Johnson and Irene Poole.

Set in the Netherlands in the aftermath of World War II, minor artist and gallery owner Han van Meegeren sits in a holding cell awaiting trial for collaboration with the Nazis. He stands accused of selling a previously unknown painting by Dutch master Johannes Vermeer to none other than Hermann Goering. He claims the work is a forgery and must paint another flawless Vermeer to save his life.
