Description |
"Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art...It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival" (C S Lewis). Is the friendship of Serge Marc and Yvan worth no more than a $50,000 painting and will it survive this unforeseen crisis? Yasmina Reza based the idea for the play on an incident from her own life. A friend has recently bought a very expensive all white painting. When she saw it, she laughed. Fortunately he did too. But what if he hadn't? Art explores the possible consequences for art and life. |
