About ART

By Yasmin Reza

Painting is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do. Three friends, one painting, and a plethora of repressed emotions that need to be unpacked.

Yvan and Marc’s friend Serge has just bought a painting for 200,000 euros. It is modern to say the least — an entirely white canvas. Differences in taste cause tensions to arise between the three, resulting in an explosion of emotions.

This production will be a high-octane retelling of Reza’s Tony and Olivier award-winning comedy, including punchy jazz, striking visuals, and exceptional performances. Come and witness an exploration of human relationships and see what happens when the people you love have changed.
