By Yasmina Reza
Translated by Christopher Hampton

Directed by J. R. Sullivan

January 10–12, 2008
in the Randall L. Jones Theatre

Contemporary and comic, Art provides us with an interesting conundrum. When Serge buys an outrageously simple modern painting for an outrageous amount of money, he and his friends have varying opinions regarding its value. Is it art or just expensive doodling? How does one define art, anyway? Thus begins anew the ages-old argument, with Serge and his friends all defending their views, sometimes insightful, sometimes perplexing, and always funny.
