A Timeless Story of Art, Love, and Legacy

Set in Paris in the late 19th century, "Sunday in the Park with George" weaves together two distinct yet intertwined narratives. In the first act, we encounter Seurat as he toils tirelessly over his revolutionary pointillist masterpiece, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte." Amidst the vibrant hustle and bustle of the park, he struggles to capture the fleeting beauty of a summer day on canvas.

In the second act, the story jumps forward a century to find George's great-grandson, also named George, who is facing his own artistic and existential challenges. As he explores the remnants of Seurat's unfinished legacy, he grapples with the complexities of art, fame, and the enduring legacy of the past.
