More DescriptionThis play re-imagines the life of Andy Warhol as a young sketch (forensic) artist in Bronx, New York during the early 1960s. Entangled in the investigation of a double homicide, Warhol is lured to Amsterdam in pursuit of a key witness who in many ways mirrors his passion for art, free love, and more.
