On the 3rd & 4th April here at The Minories there is another chance to see 'Waiting For Bacon' - a one act play about the life of artist Francis Bacon, his relationship with his lover George Dyer and how it influenced his work
About
Waiting For Bacon is the second play in the trilogy, MAKING ART: The dynamics of tricky relationships in making art.
By writer Danae Brook
The play tells the story of how Bacon, invited to Paris in 1972 for the first major retrospective of his work, at the Grand Palais, took his young lover and favourite model, George Dyer, to stay in a small hotel on the Left Bank. Accompanied by Sonia Orwell, the couple began drinking on the train to Paris and continued through the night. But while the painter was being feted as a celebrity, George Dyer, whose image dominated the exhibition, was left behind in the hotel to brood on the treacherous disloyalty of his lover.
The evening of triumph turned to tragedy.
