Picasso at the Lapin Agile at Ruskin Group Theatre

Written by Steve Martin and directed by Amelia Mulkey, the play imagines, in a light-hearted and humorous way, the similarities of the creative process involved with great leaps of imagination in art and science.

“Terrific production of Steve Martin’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” with lots of laughs” - Variety

Paris, 1904. Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso meet at a bar, a favorite spot for struggling artists and writers, with an array of colorful characters and lively repartee. It’s just before Einstein’s theory of relativity transformed physics and Picasso’s transition to cubism opened limitless possibilities for modern art. What might these icons of art and science have discussed while standing on the precipice of greatness?
