Recipient of the 1998 Tony Award® for Best Play | 1996 Olivier Award for Best Comedy
THE STORY: Yasmina Reza's play Art centers on three friends: Serge, Marc, and Yvan. When Serge buys an expensive, all-white painting, it ignites a heated debate about its value, revealing deep-seated tensions. Marc is incredulous, Yvan tries to mediate, and their differing views on art test their friendship. This sharp, humorous play examines the subjective nature of art and the fragility of human relationships.
“…wildly funny, naughtily provocative…” —New York Post.
“…a nonstop cross-fire of crackling language, serious issues of life and art expressed in outbursts that sound like Don Rickles with a degree from the Sorbonne…Reza is a fiendishly clever writer…'ART’ sounds like a marriage of Molière and Woody Allen…” —Newsweek.
“Anyone looking for a play that is funny, sophisticated, stylish, stimulating and moving should go to 'ART'.” —The Independent (UK).
Silver Line Theatre Exchange proudly presents Art by Yasmina Reza, directed by Constance Swain, with special permission from Dramatists Play Service. Our Professional Performance Series connects working artists with production opportunities and introduces our local community to incredible professional talent available in regional theatre. You don't have to go to New York City to work in or enjoy professional theatre!
