'ART' at Hub Theatre Company of Boston

Of all the issues that have torn apart friendships -- small infidelities, big fat lies, unpaid loans and betrayed confidences -- who knew that modern art would prove to be the most divisive? After Serge spends a small fortune on an unusual piece of modern art, he expects Marc and Yvan to be as excited as he is. Instead, words fly and sparks ignite as the men square off over the canvas. Lines are drawn (both literally and figuratively) and their ensuing battle grows to encompass not just the painting but past failures and personal failings. With white-hot wisecracks and discerning commentary, ‘ART’ is a sophisticated, humorous and provocative evening of theatre.
