Art

Yasmina Reza’s Olivier and Tony Award-winning international phenomenon 'Art', masterfully translated from the French by Christopher Hampton, turns a minimalist Parisian apartment into a hilarious, psychologically savage battleground of language and male friendship. The narrative ignites when Serge, a wealthy dermatologist, purchases an incredibly expensive, completely blank canvas painting that is entirely white with discrete white diagonal lines, triggering an escalating, cataclysmic explosion of personal resentments and existential fury from his two lifelong companions. Directed by Matthew Warchus at the Royale Theatre in 1998, the pristine American premiere starred Alan Alda, Victor Garber, and Alfred Molina in a tour-de-force showcase of flawless ensemble acting.
