A Beautiful New Musical About the Master Impressionist

Book your A Mirrored Monet tickets for the London premiere of this dramatic new musical exploring the life and art of Claude Monet. Written by composer, lyricist and dramatist Carmel Owen, this production stars Jeff Shankley as Monet in 1916 and Dean John-Wilson as the artist in his youth, tracing his journey from struggling young painter to master impressionist.

The Story

Paris, 1916. The painter Claude Monet struggles to complete the commission that will define his legacy: The Water Lilies. A project on which his survival depends, with food and essential supplies at stake as the First World War encroaches. Plagued by creative block, he retreats into memory, revisiting his early artist days with contemporaries Renoir and Manet, and his muse Camille Doncieux. Inspired by letters and diaries from Monet and his peers, A Mirrored Monet immerses audiences in the cafés, studios and salons of Belle Époque Paris.

The Cast and Creative Team

Award-winning actor Jeff Shankley (Starlight Express, Cats) brings depth and nuance to Monet in his later years, while Dean John-Wilson (Your Lie in April: The Musical, Aladdin) portrays the passionate young artist discovering his voice. Directed by Christian Durham, with music and projections bringing the era vividly to life, this production offers a unique window into the mind of one of the greatest painters who ever lived.
