THEATRE: ART - QPAC, Marriner Group

Title: ART

Presented By: Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), Rodney Rigby, Marriner Group, Paul Wheelton AM & State Theatre Company South Australia

Genre: Theatre / Comedy

Synopsis: An internationally award‑winning modern classic by Yasmina Reza, ART is a razor‑sharp comedy about friendship, ego and the chaos a single opinion can cause. When one friend spends a fortune on a seemingly ridiculous painting, it sets off a cascade of questions - not just about taste, but about loyalty, identity and the very fabric of their decades‑long bond. With biting wit and brilliant timing, this play asks if we can truly see and still forgive the people we’ve known the longest.
