“A remarkably wise, witty and intelligent comedy” The Times
Serge (Neil Sellman) has bought a modern painting for a huge sum of money. Marc (Jonny Magnanti) hates it and cannot believe that a friend of his could possibly want such a work. Yvan (Matt Turpin) attempts, unsuccessfully, to placate both sides. If your friendship is based on tacit mutual agreement what happens when one person does something completely different and unexpected? Art, winner of the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy of the Year received its British premiere at Wyndham’s Theatre, London in 1994 starring Albert Finney, Tom Courtenay and Ken Stott.
Yasmina Reza’s ART is one of the most successful comedies of all time, winning Oliver, Tony, Moliere and many other major awards.
