Art By Yasmina Reza Translated by Christopher Hampton

6 Sep 2022 to 11 Sep 2022

Are you who you think you are or are you who your friends think you are?

Serge has bought a modern work of art for a large sum of money. Marc hates the painting and cannot believe that a friend of his could possibly want such a work. Yvan attempts, unsuccessfully, to placate both sides with hilarious consequences. As debate over the purchase becomes ever less amicable and the trio are reduced to questioning what they had in common in the first place, only an artful sacrifice can repair the breach and restore the bonds of friendship.

The Olivier, Moliere and Tony Award- winning comedy by leading French playwright Yasmina Reza paints a satirical and witty portrait of the meaning of art and friendships with the scintillating English translation by Christopher Hampton a runaway success around the world.

Art premieres in September at The Street, Canberra's award-winning home of live storytelling and performance, featuring a stellar cast led by international comedy sensation Shane Dundas.
