A Staged Reading
Directed by Martha Duncan
A theoretical physicist and analytic cubist walk into a bar…..
Paris, 1904; The Lapin Agile, a beloved Parisian watering hole welcomes two soon-to-be legends for one extraordinary and fanciful night. Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso meet; the renowned scientist is about to transform physics with his theory of relativity, and the celebrated painter will soon set the art world afire with cubism. But tonight, with egos as large as their intellects, they will spar with the regulars and each other about art, science, inspiration, love, and the promise of the 20th Century.
Presented as a part of Landmark’s Workshop Series in a staged reading format.
This production is part one of Landmark’s Steve Martin Couplet, followed in May and June by our Main Stage production of Bright Star.
