A Mirrored Monet

About A Mirrored Monet

A Mirrored Monet at The Arches, London is a dramatic new musical about Claude Monet in Paris in 1916, as he tries to complete The Water Lilies commission that will define his legacy. With the First World War encroaching, the project becomes tied to his survival, with food and essential supplies at stake.

The story moves between the present and memory, revisiting Monet’s early artist days, his relationship with Camille Doncieux, and his friendships with Renoir and Bazille. Inspired by letters and diaries from Monet and his peers, the production uses music and projections to evoke the cafés, studios and salons of Belle Époque Paris.

Written by composer, lyricist and dramatist Carmel Owen, the show stars Jeff Shankley as Monet and Dean John-Wilson as Young Monet.
