Picasso at the Lapin Agile | An absurd comedy by Steve Martin | May 5-21, 2023
PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE
By Steve Martin
Directed by Stuart Spencer
Picasso and Einstein walk into a bar. Steve Martin's long-running off-Broadway absurdist comedy imagines a 1904 meetup between an awkward and unknown twenty-five-year-old scientist and a lusty and unknown twenty-five-year-old painter. A treat for both your brain and your funny bone, Picasso at the Lapin Agile proves that the thin line between genius and insanity looks something like a tightrope for those who dare to push the envelope. “Steve Martin's enlightening play is equally smart and silly.” – Hartford Courant
