WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In a small Mexican village, an elderly American painter and his wife befriend a young couple visiting from the United States. When the young man, a photographer, asks to make the older artist his subject, the visit takes a complex turn. In Detail of a Larger Work, Lisa Dillman explores the intricate relationships of four people bound together by art, friendships and the secrets they keep. The show is part of Prop Theater's New Play 2000 series.
