WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Broadway in Boston and SFX present Yasmina Reza's Tony and Olivier Award-winning comedy. ART is a wickedly witty portrait of modern art and old fashioned friendship. Three prosperous, middleaged, longtime friends come to blows over the value of a very expensive piece of art. Reza's play is essentially about the concepts of friendship and value, and the way in which the two can cause conflict. Serge has purchased a work of art which has cost him dearly - two hundred thousand francs. His friend Marc is loathe to believe that any friend of his would spend so much money on what to him is merely a white canvas. Another friend, Yvan, serves to try and calm the dispute between the two but in trying to appease both, ignites the quarrel which forces all three of them to re-examinetheir friendship and the direction in which it is going.

Art compares the value of a painting to the worth of a friendship, both of which depend, ultimately, on the eye of the beholder. Using this highly theatrical, verbal and visual conceit, French author Yasmina Reza has come up with a witty comedy that places the assumptions of modern culture against the attitudes of three men who depend upon each other--according to their own needs. When one of them breaks the familiar patterns of those relationships, the fragile triangle is stretched nearly to the breaking point.
The winner of the 1998 Tony and Drama Critics Award for Best Play and the 1996-1997 Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best Comedy in London, Art has become an internati[...]
