I\u2019m not even sure there\u2019s a plot. At least, I don\u2019t remember a plot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s more of a premise. And the premise is that three grown men are having an existential meltdown over a white painting. Serge blows a fortune on what looks like a blank canvas, Marc can\u2019t believe his friend spent money on the thing, and poor Yvan is stuck trying to keep the peace while both sides take turns losing it. What starts as an argument about modern art turns into a hilarious, petty, and painfully honest showdown about ego, friendship, and who\u2019s the real intellectual in the room. In spite of this, it\u2019s great fun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyman Theatre puts on a lot of highbrow theatrical performances. Honestly, I was stunned (delighted, but also stunned) to see them doing <em>Harvey <\/em>in 2023, a distinctly lowbrow play about a man who befriends a six-foot-tall invisible rabbit. But even <em>Harvey<\/em> was highbrowed-up significantly at Everyman. Reza\u2019s \u2018<em>Art\u2019 <\/em>script is already pretty highbrow, which is, I suppose, one of the things people like about it, at least, the sort of people who use the word \u2018sportsball\u2019 unironically in a sentence. Snazzing it up further with a posh set stretches the limits of relatability, which is forgivable as the set is a visual delight.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4_Art_Full-cast-with-painting_1600x1200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-383393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4_Art_Full-cast-with-painting_1600x1200.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4_Art_Full-cast-with-painting_1600x1200-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4_Art_Full-cast-with-painting_1600x1200-460x345.jpeg 460w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4_Art_Full-cast-with-painting_1600x1200-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4_Art_Full-cast-with-painting_1600x1200-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4_Art_Full-cast-with-painting_1600x1200-696x522.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/4_Art_Full-cast-with-painting_1600x1200-265x198.jpeg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tony K.

Nam<\/strong> as Marc, Serge, and Yvan (respectively, in order of appearance) are all splendid performers who, as characters, take themselves dreadfully seriously. If there were even a hint of a twinkle, the comedy wouldn\u2019t work. The comedy works. Each performer has excellent timing and good interplay with the others. What they don\u2019t have as characters is any particular likability. I acknowledge that my preference for likable characters is a personal quirk, so this won\u2019t be a problem for everyone. Prue stops just shy of sarcasm, and I\u2019ve never not enjoyed Bruce Nelson in anything. Nam, who was absolutely magnificent as George in <em>Who\u2019s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?<\/em> this past spring, portrays a very different sort of character in \u2018<em>Art\u2019<\/em>. Director <strong>Noah Himmelstein<\/strong> delivers restrained character movements while keeping the piece from being static, a real risk in such a \u201ctalk-y\u201d show.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sound quality is crystal clear. It helps that the audience is very quiet, but with the crisp and rhythmic dialogue Reza has written, missing any of it would be disastrous to comprehension.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1065\" src=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/5_Art_BruceRandolphNelson_TonyKNam.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-383395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/5_Art_BruceRandolphNelson_TonyKNam.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/5_Art_BruceRandolphNelson_TonyKNam-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/5_Art_BruceRandolphNelson_TonyKNam-460x306.jpeg 460w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/5_Art_BruceRandolphNelson_TonyKNam-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/5_Art_BruceRandolphNelson_TonyKNam-1536x1022.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/dctheaterarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/5_Art_BruceRandolphNelson_TonyKNam-696x463.jpeg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bruce Randolph Nelson (Serge) and Tony K.

Tastefully elegant brass chandeliers and sconces, hung very high, suggest vaulted ceilings and enormous mansions, and whisper \u201cspared no expense.\u201d Smooth sliding panels glide back and forth to indicate scene changes. A particularly beautiful piece of the set is the scrim behind the panels, which catches color like a skylit lake. Lighting Designer <strong>Harold F. Burgess II<\/strong> creates mesmerizing glows on that backdrop, setting the tenor of each scene, moving rapidly through briefly fascinating ombre color shifts during scenic changes, then settling down so we can watch the actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2018Art,\u2019<\/em> was originally written in French and translated into English almost immediately by <strong>Christopher Hampton<\/strong>. At this point, it has been performed in at least 30 languages. It opened in the West End (London) in 1996 and ran for six years. <em>\u2018Art\u2019 <\/em>gathered a number of awards, including a Moliere (France), an Olivier (England), and a Tony (USA). Reza\u2019s following play, <em>God of Carnage<\/em> (2008), and its subsequent film adaptation may have brought renewed attention to this quiet show.

There are also alcohol-free specialty beverages. Don\u2019t wait until intermission: there\u2019s not one in this show. Drinks with lids <em>are<\/em> permitted in the theater, but snacks are not.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the entertaining things about art is that people disagree about art. Yasmina Reza\u2019s \u2018<em>Art\u2019<\/em> at Everyman places that tempest in a pretty china teapot.
