Synopsis
Important – Please note that the usual times for standard LDS plays on Saturdays have changed this season to 14:00 and 18:30. Monday to Friday shows remain at 19:30.
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. It’s about five feet by four, and all white. 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 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 relentlessly batter one another over various failures.
