Winner of the Tony Award
and Olivier Award for best play, ‘Art’, is
“A non-stop crossfire of crackling language, serious issues
of life and art expressed in outbursts that sound like Don
Rickles with a degree from the Sorbonne … fiendishly
clever… “wildly funny, naughtily provocative,
sophisticated, stylish, and moving . .
. a marriage of Moliere and Woody Allen.” – Newsweek.
“…Classic comedy, period.” – London Times. How
much would you pay for a white painting, five feet by four,
all white with white diagonal lines? ‘Art’ revolves around
three male friends - Serge, Marc, and Yvan - who find their
15-year relationship tested when Serge buys a white-on-white
painting for a large sum of money. He shows off his prize,
thinking he has one-upped his friends with his avant-garde
taste. Marc's and Yvan's reactions stoke tensions,
especially when Marc dissolves into hysterics at Serge's
gullibility and Yvan, the peacemaker, offers an equivocal
opinion, which angers everyone. ‘Art’ escalates into
an examination of friendship - its demands, obligations,
and, ultimately, its rewards. The quips, fast comebacks,
instantaneous changes of mood, whining, laughing jags, and
tears are prompted by the ties that bind men and show how
their friendships are preserved, no matter the severity of
the strains. Eight performances. Cast:
Wallace Norman, James Prendergast, and Lou Trapani.
