If a friendship is based on tacit mutual agreement, what happens when one person does something completely different and unexpected?  The question is:  Are you who you think you are or are you who your friends think you are?

Serge has bought a modern painting for a huge sum of money.  Marc hates it and cannot believe that a friend of his could possibly want such a work.  Yvan attempts, unsuccessfully, to placate both sides.

Yasmina Reza's dazzling comedy received the Molíere Award for best play, best production and best author and ran for 18 months at the Comédie des Champs-Elysées, Paris, from October 1994.  Art, which also won the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy of the Year, received its British premiere at Wyndham's Theatre, London, in October 1996.
