How would you feel about your best friend if she suddenly did something so colossally stupid, it made you doubt the very basis of the friendship? It happens in Yasmina Reza's monster international hit, Art. When an art lover buys what is in essence a pure white painting for a horse-choking sum, his best friend goes ballistic. Yet a third friend gets squeezed in the middle. Questions about the meaning of strange modern art and strange modern friendships--and how they're sometimes not all that different--fly thick in the limelight.
"Not only brings to the stage a topical debate, it makes it invigorating, touching and finally disturbing. This dark comedy, translated from the French, in sparkling form, explores its themes through a rift between friends."
--Financial Times
"A remarkably wise, witty and intelligent comedy . . . has touched a universal nerve."--The Times
"Chic, short, and wickedly, perceptively funny, it's the perfect West End play."
--Nick Curtis, Evening Standard
"Art, which has been translated from the French by Christopher Hampton, is filled from first curtain to ending with a dazzling array of language."
