"Anyone looking for a play that is funny, sophisticated, stylish, =
stimulating and moving should go to 'ART'." -Independent (London).
"...wildly funny, naughtily provocative..." -NY Post.=20
"...a nonstop cross-fire of crackling language, serious issues of life =
and art expressed in outbursts that sound like Don Rickles with a degree =
from the Sorbonne...Reza is a fiendishly clever writer...'ART' sounds =
like a marriage of Moli=E8re and Woody Allen..." -Newsweek.


THE STORY: How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter =
who the painter was? Would it be art? One of Marc's best friends, Serge, =
has just bought a very expensive painting. It's about five feet by four, =
all white with white diagonal lines. To Marc, the painting is a joke, =
but Serge insists Marc doesn't have the proper standard to judge the =
work. Another friend, Ivan, though burdened by his own problems, allows =
himself to be pulled into this disagreement. Eager to please, Ivan tells =
Serge he likes the painting. Lines are drawn and these old friends =
square off over the canvas, using it as an excuse to relentlessly batter =
one another over various failures. As their arguments become less =
theoretical and more personal, they border on destroying their =
friendships.=20
