West End Studio Theatre presents 'Art'

by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton

How 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.
