Art by SSCBS (Full Play)

Presenting our English Production for the year, Art being performed at the Old World Collegiate Theatre Festival 2016 held at the Indian Habitat Centre.
This play, an adaptation of the original Tony Award winning play written by Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton, which raises serious questions about art and friendship, concerns three long-time friends, Sameer, Mathur and Yohan. Sameer, indulging his penchant for modern art, buys a large and expensive painting. Mathur is horrified, and their relationship suffers considerable strain as a result of their differing opinions about what constitutes "art". Yohan, caught in the middle of the conflict, tries to please and mollify both of them. As the conversation starts to get more and more personal, we realise the issue, is about more than just a painting. If your friendship is based on tacit mutual agreement, what happens when one person does something completely different and unexpected? The question is: are you who you think you are or are you who your friends think you are?
