‘Three friends and a white painting.’
It all starts when Serge purchases a all-white painting for one hundred thousand euros and asks his 2 best friend's opinion about his purchase. What this entails is an examination of friendship, morals, values and what it is to be human.
One of the most acclaimed plays of recent times, Art premiered in London twenty years ago and went on to become a phenomenon, winning the Moliere, Evening Standard, Olivier and Tony Awards. Director Matthew Warchus reunites the entire original team to revisit Yasmina Reza’s dazzling study of friendship, prejudice and tolerance.
Starring Tim Key (Tree – The Old Vic, Peep Show), Paul Ritter (Friday Night Dinner, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time – National Theatre) and Rufus Sewell (ITV’s Victoria, Closer – Donmar Warehouse), Art is a very funny and intelligent play that needs to be seen!

Latest critic reviews

Very funny and exquisitely calibrated...The director has reassembled the original creative team and gathered a crack trio of performers who have just the right combustible chemistry... Being able to see the funny side about friends who can no longer see the funny side or erupt in sudden bursts of complicitous laughter against a third is one of the play's signal strengths. Tim Key gives a lovely performance as the would-be umpire who finds himself turned into the punch bag. He deserves the round of applause he receives for his doleful, mountingly irascible rendition of a long, involved monologue about the preposterously difficult politics of the wedding invitation.

Tim Key and Paul Ritter are equally strong in a tale of shifting power alliances between a trio of men following the purchase of an extortionate painting
