Picasso at the Lapin AgileBy Steve Martin"Very engaging.... Martin sends ideas onstage in baggy pants, with a cigar .... mixing the sublime with the ridiculous so that they can't be easily disentangled.... Very good fun." N.Y. Times |

This year's production at The Brickyard is a fantastic comedy "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" by Steve Martin, the popular actor and screenwriter. His first play is a romp through an evening (hypothetical) at the Lapin Agile bar in Montmartre, Paris in 1904. In this bar, the young Picasso and Albert Einstein meet, and discuss women, art, philosophy, and life. The play is Martin's celebration of the two iconic figures of the 20th century, Picasso and Einstein, just as they are about to break on the scene with their first major works. Martin surprises the audience again and again with his supporting cast of zany characters. |
Concluding with the arrival and visit from a third extraordinary figure from the 20th century, Picasso is a 90 minute delight.
"It's really about how exciting it is when you're on the verge of something."
Steve Martin
