“To draw you must close your eyes and sing”
Two geniuses walk into a bar … This whimsical comedy imagines what might have happened if Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein had met in Paris in 1904.
Both are on the cusp of their breakthroughs that will revolutionise art and physics respectively. Sparks fly when the two come together!
In his first comedy for the stage, popular actor and screenwriter Steve Martin (Saturday Night Live, Only Murders in the Building) unleashes all of his trademark sharp wit, keen observations, and unabashed silliness.
An entertaining and thoughtful exploration of art, science, creativity, and destiny.
