The 1998 Tony Award winner for Best Play returns to the IPT stage by "popular
demand" as the Subscribers' Choice.
Director Reed McColm asks, "How much would you pay for a white
painting?"
'ART' is a story about art and friendship that tackles the age-old question: “What is art?”
Directed by Reed McColm and starring Jack Bannon, Patrick Treadway and Roger Welch, “ART” is a rare drama that makes a splash.
“ ... filled from first curtain to ending with a dazzling array of language.”
- Iris Fanger, Christian Science Monitor
“It’s an actor’s dream, a nonstop cross-fire of crackling language, serious issues of life and art expressed in outbursts that sound like Don Rickles with a degree from the Sorbonne. Brilliantly translated by Christopher Hampton, ... [it] takes that yawny old bore, the play of ideas, and jolts it to life - Jack Kroll, Newsweek
