ART at the Comedy Theatre tickets
About ART
Richard Roxburgh (Rake, The Correspondent, Elvis), Damon Herriman (Better Man, Mr Inbetween, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Toby Schmitz (Boy Swallows Universe, Gaslight, Grief is the Thing with Feathers) 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.
