Destined to be forever spoken of with misty-eyed bragging rights by anyone who sees it” (The New York Times), Sunday in The Park With George is Stephen Sondheim’s Pulitzer Prize-winning musing on pointillist George Seurat’s most-famous work, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Scott Susong directs this two-time Olivier Award-winning, timeless painting-brought-to-life. The reverie centers on a fictional version of Seurat—a wistful, obsessive artist engrossed in creating his masterpiece—and his great-grandson, a modern-day heir to Seurat’s unconventional genius.
