French playwright Yasmina Reza garnered international acclaim with her play Art (1994), for which she received the 1998 Lawrence Olivier Award for best comedy and the 1998 Antoinette Perry (Tony) Award for best play, as well as Molière awards for best author, best play, and best production.
"What is 'art'?" is a question that has been asked for hundreds of years. The question, as well as attempts to answer it, has caused controversy, debate, conversation, dialogue, riots, censorship, and division. Reza places the question and the difficulty of answering it at the heart of ART – the play.
In this play, three friends Marc, Serge, and Ivan, feverishly debate this question. Ultimately it leads them into battering one other about the choices (and perceived failures) they each have made in life. Rezabegins the play questioning "what is art?" and "who gets to decide the answer?", but asks bigger questions regarding friendship and the power of forgiveness.
