Picasso at The lapin agile, a comedy by Steve Martin
April 6, 7, & 8 and April 14 & 15 at 7:00 p.m. and April 16 at 2:00 p.m.
This long-running Off-Broadway absurdist comedy features Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso at the Lapin Agile, a Parisian cafe, in 1904 – just before the famous scientist transformed physics with his theory of relativity and the celebrated painter enflamed the art world with cubism.
In his first stage comedy, Steve Martin plays fast and loose with fact, fame, and fortune as the two geniuses muse on the century’s achievements and prospects, and other fanciful topics with infectious dizziness. Other characters, including Picasso’s agent, the bartender and his mistress, one of Picasso’s lovers, a Countess, an elderly philosopher, an idiot inventor, and a charismatic dark-haired singer appearing from a later era, add to the absurdity.
