Art
by Yasmina Reza
translated by Christopher Hampton
directed by Rich Francis
14th to 17th March, 2012
How much would you pay for a painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it matter whether your friends liked it? One of Marc's best friends, Serge, has just bought a very expensive painting.
To Marc, the painting is a joke, but Serge insists Marc shouldn't judge the work. Another friend, Yvan, though burdened by his own problems, allows himself to be pulled into the disagreement. Eager to please,
Yvan tells Serge he likes the painting. Lines are drawn and these old friends square off over the canvas, using it as an excuse to beat one another relentlessly over various failures. As arguments become less
theoretical and more personal, relationships are tested to breaking point.
Are you who you think you are or are you who your friends think you are?

The Price
by Arthur Miller
directed by Zoe Freedman
27th to 30th June, 2012
Two estranged brothers discover the price – of their parents’ furniture and of the decisions they have made.
Victor, a New York cop nearing retirement, moves among furniture in the disused attic of a house marked for demolition. Cabinets, desks, a damaged harp,
the relics of a lost life of affluence he's finally come to sell. But when his brother Walter, whom he hasn't spoken to for years, arrives, the talk stops being just about whether
Victor's been offered a fair price for the furniture, and turns to the price that one and not the other of them paid when their father lost both his fortune and the will to go on.
This play is topical in today’s recession as it looks at the impact of the Depression of the 1930s in America as well as themes like family relationships, unfulfilled lives
and the impact of the choices we make.
Written and set in 1968 this is a classic of American Theatre.
