by Yasmina Reza Translated by Christopher Hampton
This rapid-fire comedy, sparkling with verbal wit, is a clever explosion of argument and rumination ignited by a piece of art. An internationally acclaimed hit, Art is now captivating audiences at Steppenwolf, where fierce acting from a world class ensemble brings to life this intelligent riff on culture, friendship and...art. French playwright Yasmina Reza won the 1997 Olivier Award and the 1998 Tony Award for Art, which has been produced worldwide and translated into over 30 languages. British playwright Christopher Hampton won an Academy Award for the screen adaptation of his play Dangerous Liaisons and was nominated for his adaptation of Atonement.
