When Serge purchases an all-white painting for a small fortune, his longtime friendship with Marc and Yvan is put to the test. As the arguments quickly go from theoretical to personal to confrontational and friendship hangs in the balance, the question becomes: how much is a painting worth? Behind the award-winning comedy, the play grabs us between laughs to ask poignant questions about the meaning of art and friendship. Originally produced by Penfold in 2008 as the production that launched the company, ‘Art’ returns as a salute to our 15th anniversary. Director Steven Pounders and Penfold founders Ryan Crowder and Nathan Jerkins return from the original production. The cast is rounded out by long-time Penfold collaborator Kareem Badr. ‘Art’ is winner of the Olivier Award for Best Comedy and the Tony Award for Best Play. “Anyone looking for a play that is funny, sophisticated, stylish, stimulating and moving should go to ‘Art’.” —Independent (London).
