Steve Martin's
Picasso at the Lapin Agile
Performed in November 2001

Full of banter, witty jokes and a tremendous shake-up of the future, the audience is challenged and delighted throughout to keep up with the imaginative and witty dialogue.

Peopled with attractive, sexy, wise and wonderful woman... and famous (and no so famous) young (and definitely not so young) energetic men who live in hopes of fame, fortune and girls.

The whole play, set in 1904, takes place in a Paris bar, the Lapin Agile.

 

 

 

That famous photo taken in Lapin Agile for posterity - sorry something misted the negative or is it...
