Einstein and Picasso walk into a bar. Sounds like an opening of a classic joke… In the hands of comic-genius-turned-playwright Steve Martin it becomes so much more: an exploration of creativity, physics, and one-night stands played out in hilarious and thoughtful fashion. Ostensibly set in 1904 Paris, in the moments before Einstein and Picasso’s geniuses blossom, their worlds collide in the most commonplace of fashions…and the 20th century is born. What next? Believe it or not, the play has that answer too!
“Highly credible and…very funny. The subject matter is daring…You get giggles in plenty [and] moments of enlightenment.”—The New York Post.
