ART

at the Comedy Theatre, Melbourne

Richard Roxburgh (Rake, The Correspondent, Elvis), Damon Herriman (Better Man, Mr Inbetween, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Ryan Corr (House of the Dragon, Holding the Man, Kangaroo)  star together in the internationally award-winning play ART by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton. A razor-sharp comedy about friendship, ego and the chaos a single opinion can cause.

When one friend buys a ridiculously expensive painting, the others don’t just question his taste – they question everything.

Egos flare. Old wounds resurface. And a decades-long friendship begins to fracture.

With biting wit and pitch-perfect timing, ART explores how the smallest things, especially the unspoken ones, can spiral into something much bigger.

This 90-minute modern classic is clever, stylish and asks: can we truly see and still forgive the people we’ve known the longest?

Because everyone’s a critic. Especially your friends.

“A VERY FUNNY COMEDY OF MANNERS. It’s an impeccably tailored piece of work.”
NEW YORK TIMES

"Chic, short, and wickedly, perceptively funny, it’s the perfect play.”
Evening Standard

“Art is a modern classic.”
The Guardian
