A Picasso

Greenhouse Theater Center, Chicago

About the Show

"We're all guilty of something…it's just a matter of finding the appropriate law."

1941. In Occupied Paris, Pablo Picasso is summoned to a storage vault by a brilliant Nazi “cultural attaché” to confirm the authenticity of three “confiscated” Picasso paintings before they are exhibited. But when he discovers the true purpose of the exhibition, a cat-and-mouse negotiation ensues – with life and death stakes. Art, politics, sex, power and truth collide in this fast-paced, witty drama with echoes of our world today. Does Picasso have the power to save his paintings – and himself?
