Josh Beaumont & Original theatre present ART. A comedy by Yasmina Reza. Translated by Christopher Hampton.
The smash hit comedy returns starring Seann Walsh, Chris Harper and Aden Gillett.
A seemingly simple purchase of contemporary art – an all-white painting – ignites a hilarious debate amongst three close friends. What begins as a light-hearted discussion about art quickly descends into a riotous exploration of the blurred lines between art and reality.
This multi-award winning play (winner of Best Comedy at the Olivier Awards, Tony Awards and Moliere Awards) is a razor sharp exploration of art, love and friendship that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
With award-winning comedian Seann Walsh, Chris Harper (Call the Midwife, Coronation Street) and Aden Gillett (The Crown, The House of Elliot), Iqbal Khan (East is East, National Theatre and Othello, RSC) directs a brand-new production of Yasmina Reza’s fiendishly clever and hilariously funny play.
