Art

Starring Nigel Havers, Denis Lawson and Stephen Tomkinson, Art is an award-winning play.

The critical consensus

At around 80 minutes, Art is short but perfectly formed. This is a class act and an extremely entertaining evening of theatre.

Havers’ faddish Serge, Lawson’s reactionary Marc and Tompkinson’s galumphing Yvan are allowed to bask in some deliciously urbane exchanges, each coloured in by a succession of well-timed physical tics.

Everything a high-profile touring show should be – a carefully thought out, well-directed production of a hit play featuring a big-name cast at the top of their game.

(*) Hugh Simpson, All Edinburgh Theatre, 12/02/2019

If you don’t hate them, are they even your friends? That's the question posed by Yasmina Reza’s monstrously successful play, ART, which has all the trimmings that a high-billed touring production should have.
