French Contemporary Masterpiece
Nominated for Best Director & Best Actor (Comedy / Farce) for the Hong Kong Drama Awards
Who says Hong Kong audiences don't understand Art?
"Art under Lee's direction is funny, lively, irresistible, creating raucous laughter. Don't shy away from the title Art, because Yasmina Reza treats art and three men with much irony and wit. The scenes are real and touching, so much so that laughter occasionally mixes with tears. This play about one painting and three men is concise but still contains surprises. The three actors have created some fireworks ¡K" Shi Qi (Ming Pao)
"A simple story that's chock full of great lines, delving into modern artistic values and friendship. This play is full of black humour. It far exceeds any normal comedy ¡K" Ye Jianyao (Yazhou Zhoukan)
"Chic, short, and wickedly, perceptively funny, it's the perfect West End play." London Evening Standard
"It certainly allows for a demonstration of shared skills that moves and impresses, leaving you at the curtain-call with the unusual sight of three grown-up chaps holding hands." Times Literary Supplement
"It's an actor's dream, a nonstop cross-fire of crackling language, serious issues of life and art expressed in outbursts¡K Art takes that yawn old bore, the play of ideas, and jolts it to life." Newsweek
