Provenance
by Jonathan Skinner
24 - 28 June 2025, 7.30 pm
Ellie wants to get on. Move up. Get ahead for once.
She can't do that on her own, so when she lands a cushy mentorship scheme, she thinks she's finally on her way.
But when Ellie meets her new mentor Patrick, an older artist who hides away painting abstracts in a dingy studio, she's sure she buzzed the wrong flat.
Ellie pushes Patrick to the limit and then some. As banter turns to barbs that cut too close to the quick, Ellie and Patrick find themselves in a standoff of culture, class and secrets.
