STAGED Theatre's upcoming production of Art by Yasmina Reza is set to be a highlight of Brisbane's Anywhere Festival. This Tony Award-winning play, which explores the complex relationships between three friends and their conflicting views on modern art, promises to be a thought-provoking and entertaining evening of theatre.
Art tells the story of Serge, Natalia, and Yvan, three friends whose relationships are put to the test when Serge buys a white painting for a large sum of money. Natalia is outraged by the purchase, seeing it as a pretentious and meaningless waste of money, while Yvan tries to mediate between the two friends. As tensions rise, the three friends are forced to confront their own prejudices and insecurities.
Written by Yasmina Reza, Art has been performed all over the world to critical acclaim. The play has been praised for its sharp dialogue, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes. At its heart, Art is a play about the value of art, the nature of friendship, and the ways in which our own insecurities and biases can impact our relationships with others.
STAGED Theatre's production of Art promises to be a faithful and engaging interpretation of the play. The production is directed by Nick Smith, a highly experienced director who has worked on productions across Australia, Argentina and the UK. The cast includes some of the Sunshine Coast's most talented actors, including Mark Dunlop as Serge, Jessi Schmidt as Natalia, and Tom Jermyn as Yvan.
As well as featuring an impressive cast and creative team, STAGED Theatre's debut production of Art will also be performed as part of the Anywhere Festival. This unique festival sees theatre performances take place in a range of unconventional locations, from parks and warehouses to coffee shops and art galleries. This means that audiences can experience theatre in a whole new way, breaking down the barriers between performers and audience members. You can grab your tickets here!
Once their run in Brisbane is over, STAGED brings it's debut production back home to the Sunshine Coast for a limited, three-show run in Nambour's Black Box Theatre in June. You can grab Black Box tickets here!
Overall, STAGED Theatre's upcoming production of Art promises to be a must-see event for anyone interested in theatre, art, or the complexities of human relationships. With its talented cast, thoughtful themes, and unique location, this production is sure to be one of the highlights of Brisbane's cultural calendar!
