PICASSO at the Lapin Agile<br />
PRESENTED BY WILLIAMS STREET REPERTORY<br />
By Steve Martin<br />
September 16 – October 23<br />
Tickets start at $32.50*<br />
This long running Off-Broadway absurdist comedy places Albert Einstein and Pablo<br />
Picasso in a Parisian cafe in 1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics<br />
with his theory of relativity and the celebrated painter set the art world afire with<br />
cubism.<br />
In his first comedy for the stage, the popular actor and screenwriter plays fast and loose<br />
with fact, fame and fortune as these two geniuses muse on the century’s achievements<br />
and prospects as well as other fanciful topics with infectious dizziness. Bystanders,<br />
including Picasso’s agent, the bartender and his mistress, Picasso’s date, an elderly<br />
philosopher, Charles Dabernow Schmendimen and an idiot inventor introduce additional<br />
flourishes of humor. The final surprise patron to join the merriment at the Lapin Agile is<br />
a charismatic dark haired singer time warped in from a later era.<br />
