ART the comedy play

The smash hit comedy returns starring award-winning comedian Seann Walsh, Chris Harper (Call the Midwife, Coronation Street) and Aden Gillett (The Crown, The House of Elliot),

Serge, Marc and Yvan have their long-time friendship put to the test when Serge purchases an expensive, all-white, painting. Marc is appalled by the purchase, seeing it as pretentious and a betrayal of their friendship, while Yvan tries to mediate between the two, caught in the middle of their escalating conflict.

What begins as a light-hearted discussion about art quickly descends into a riotous debate and reflection on loyalty, identity and friendship. 

Since its premiere in 1994, this multi-award winning play (winner of Best Comedy at the Olivier Awards, Tony Awards and Moliere Awards) has captivated audiences worldwide with its insightful humour, sharp dialogue and intellectual rigor. Translated into over 30 languages and performed in countless theatres across the globe ART is a masterclass in contemporary theatre.

The New York Times called it "A remarkably wise, witty, and intelligent comedy," while The Guardian hailed it as "a modern classic." Don’t miss your chance to experience a play that has not only redefined what modern theatre can be but continues to resonate with audiences today. Whether you're seeing it for the first time or revisiting this timeless piece, ART remains a must-see theatrical event that will leave you laughing, thinking, and discussing long after the final curtain falls.

Iqbal Khan (East is East, National Theatre and Othello, RSC) directs a brand-new production of Yasmina Reza's fiendishly clever and hilariously funny play.
