Story

Winner of the Olivier, Tony and Molière Awards, Art is a brutally funny comedy about friendship on the brink.

When Serge buys an expensive modern painting that is entirely white, a harmless debate about taste with his closest friends, Marc and Yvan, turns hostile. Long-standing tensions surface and the three men quickly discover how words can wound the people closest to them.

Sharp and unsettling, Art asks a dangerous question: how much truth can a friendship survive?

One of the most celebrated contemporary plays of the last thirty years, Art continues to provoke big laughs and uncomfortable recognition in equal measure.
