EDINBURGH PEOPLE'S THEATRE

50 years on from its Edinburgh premiere, Edinburgh People's Theatre brings a brand new production of this mangled Macbeth to the Fringe. The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society attempt to bring their startlingly original production of Macbeth to the stage. Under the carefully massacred eye of adjudicator George Peach, events conspire hilariously against them, leading to a play that goes horribly and wonderfully wrong!

How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be “art”?

Serge has just bought a very expensive painting. It’s about five feet by four, all white with white diagonal lines. To his friend Marc, the painting is a joke. To Serge, this merely proves that Marc is an intellectual who cannot understand art. Their friend Yvan tries and fails to placate both sides as he gets pulled into the stand-off. Lines are drawn, and what began as a disagreement over a piece of art soon escalates into something that could destroy both their friendship and the painting.

Christopher Hampton’s translation of Yasmina Reza’s stage play had its British premiere at Wyndham's Theatre, London in 1996. It won Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best Comedy, and New York Drama Critics' Circle and Tony Awards for Best Play.

"Anyone looking for a play that is funny, sophisticated, stylish, stimulating and moving should go to Art." (The Independent)
"A remarkably wise, witty and intelligent comedy. Art has touched a universal nerve." (The Times)
