Synopsis: How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? One of Marc's best friends, Serge, has just bought a very expensive painting. Its about five feet by four, all white with white diagonal lines. To Marc, the painting is a joke, but Serge insists Marc doesn't have the proper standard to judge the work. Another friend, Ivan, though burdened by his own problems, allows himself to be pulled into the this disagreement. Eager to please, Ivan tells Serge he likes the painting. Lines are drawn and these old friends square off over the canvas, using it as an excuse to batter one another relentlessly over various failures. As their arguments become less theoretical and more personal, they border on destroying their friendships. At the breaking point, Serge hands Marc a felt tip pen and dares him: "Go on." This is where the friendship is finally tested and the aftermath of action, and its reaction, affirms the power of those bonds.

Notes: Original Playwright - Yasmina Reza. (Paris, 1987)

Synopsis: Simon Weinberg is dead. And, on a November morning, six people gather at his funeral - brothers and a sister, lovers and in-laws. Mourning allows them a special privilege and, for a few hours, they are isolated in another world under a lingering sun, in the shadow of the deceased. Conversations after a Burial is a savage but richly comic play which explores that ineffable moment of mourning, when the newly deceased is still almost palpable, the moment in which one can maintain the memory of a breath, the intense pause between absence and the return to everyday existence, between loss and life.

Notes: Original Playwright - Yasmina Reza

Synopsis: Disruption lies at the heart of the play itself. Two ostensibly civilised couples meet to sort out a playground punch-up: the son ofAlain and Annette has broken two incisors of the son of their hosts, Michel and Véronique. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed. Gradually, however, tensions emerge between and among the couples. Alain, a cynical lawyer distractedly defending a dodgy pharmaceutical company on his mobile, irks his hosts and causes his wife to throw up. Meanwhile, Véronique, a moral crusader who has just done a book about Darfur, allows her mask to slip and exposes the hollowness of her marriage to Michel, who is a vulgar nihilist at heart. As she proved in Life x 3, Reza is an expert analyst of social hypocrisy; and her play, in Christopher Hampton's witty translation, starts out as a rancidly funny account of two couples tiptoeing around their mutual dislike. Ralph Fiennes's detached lawyer raises the roof as, tucking into his host's sweetmeat, he announces: "At least all this has given us a new recipe." And Janet Mcleer's Véronique reveals where her true values lie when she laments that Tamsin Greig's Annette has spewed up all over her priceless Kokoschka catalogue. Even Ken Stott, as the would-be pacifier Michel, turns out to a bruiser who has cruelly released his daughter's hamster into the Parisian streets.

Notes: Original Playwright - Yasmina Reza

Synopsis: Henry and Sonia are having a difficult evening with Arnaud, their wakeful six-year-old son; but Henry has other worries. About to publish the results of two years' research on the flatness of galaxy halos, he's desperate to make a good impression on the distinguished astrophysicist Hubert Finidori, who wields a decisive influence over the question of Henry's longed-for promotion. So when Hubert arrives with his rebellious wife, Inez, in tow for dinner on the wrong night, the fact that there is no food in the apartment (merely an ample supply of Sancerre) is only one of the potentially disastrous elements in play. Add to this Hubert's often brutal treatment of Inez; his lust for Sonia; Inez's weak head for alcohol; Henry's discovery that rival scientists may have beaten him to the punch; Sonia's equivocal feeling of attraction towards Hubert; and the entirely unpredictable behavior of the invisible Arnaudand the stage is set for a catastrophic unraveling of normal civilized behavior. But will it be this kind of catastrophe? Or that? Or, perhaps, worse still, will catastrophe be averted altogether?
