The story -=20

This long running Off Broadway absurdist comedy places Albert Einstein
and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian cafe in 1904, just before the renowned
scientist transformed physics with his theory of relativity and the
celebrated painter set the art world afire with cubism. In his first
comedy for the stage, the popular actor and screenwriter plays fast and
loose with fact, fame and fortune as these two geniuses muse on the
century's achievements and prospects as well as other fanciful topics
with infectious dizziness. Bystanders, including Picasso' agent, the
bartender and his mistress, Picasso's date, an elderly philosopher,
Charles Dabernow Schmendimen and an idiot inventor introduce additional
flourishes of humor. The final surprise patron to join the merriment at
the Lapin Agile is a charismatic dark haired singer time warped in from
a later era. (Rated - Mature)
