ART [B RES]
Comedy Theatre
240 Exhibition St Melbourne VIC
Richard Roxburgh (Rake, The Correspondent, Elvis), Damon Herriman (Better Man, Mr Inbetween, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Toby Schmitz (Boy Swallows Universe, Gaslight, Grief is the Thing with Feathers) star together in the internationally award-winning play ART by Yasmina Reza. A razor-sharp comedy about friendship, ego and the chaos a single opinion can cause.
When one friend buys a ridiculously expensive painting, the others don’t just question his taste – they question everything. Egos flare. Old wounds resurface. And a decades-long friendship begins to fracture.
With biting wit and pitch-perfect timing, ART explores how the smallest things, especially the unspoken ones, can spiral into something much bigger.
“A VERY FUNNY COMEDY OF MANNERS. It’s an impeccably tailored piece of work.”
NEW YORK TIMES
“Chic, short, and wickedly, perceptively funny, it’s the perfect play.”
Evening Standard
“Art is a modern classic.”
The Guardian
