West End Studio Theatre presents 'Art'
by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher HamptonHow
much would you pay for a white painting? Would it be art? One of Marc's best friends,
Serge, has just bought a very expensive painting. It's about five feet by four, all white
with white diagonal lines. After Marc declares the painting a joke, the canvas quickly
becomes an excuse for the friends to batter one another relentlessly over various
failures. This wildly funny and naughtily provocative comedy, probes serious issues of
life and art in outbursts that sound like Don Rickles with a degree from the Sorbonne. |

that every November Brick loaded a canoe on top of his car and headed off for a week of
paddling in the wilds of Algonquin. At least, she thought she knew everything-until she
receives a call the day after Brick's departure to find that he has been found on a park
bench in London, England - dead. When two strangers visit the inn, Bess slowly begins to
uncover 46 years of secrets. |
