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.
Entry to the Comedy Theatre is via Exhibition Street. There are several glass doors that remain open pre-show and during interval. There is a small step to access these doors, which as you move away from Lonsdale Street is reduced to a small lip. Ramp access can be provided by Front of House or Security upon request. A member of staff will be able to assist you upon arrival at the theatre.
There is step free access to the stalls from the Foyer.
