Second Stage Theatre

"In Painting Churches, Tina Howe has turned the stage into her canvas. Painting Churches dramatizes the process of art while at the same time stripping the characters down to their true essence and revealing their portraits without paint. Virtuoso acting by an impeccable cast."
