Art - or is it?

I just saw a really amazing play with Heather at the Theatre Royal. It was called Art, and starred three very well known actors; Nigel Havers, Denis Lawson, and Steven Tompkinson. The first surprise was that we were in the front row of the dress circle instead of the balcony - I was so sure that we were going to be really high up that I had insisted that Heather go all the way back to her car to fetch her glasses (which she barely needs) for extra clarity due to the height that I thought we would be! In fact we were in a prime viewing area, which I had forgotten, it was ages ago that I booked it. Anyway, the play was about three friends, one of whom has spent a lot of money on a piece of modern art which is a completely white canvas. His friends react in different and complex ways to this, and during the play it becomes clear that it is just as much about friendship as art. I thought that it was really good. The content was original and compelling; and the sharp dialogue gripped my attention for the whole ninety minutes. Also the acting was fantastic; the three actors interacted so well with each other and the audience. It was originally written in French by Yasmina Reza, and it does have a vibe of Paris about it. It was very intense but also very amusing. I do enjoy my theatre outings with Heather!
