Description | This long running Off Broadway comedy places Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian cafe just before the Einstein transformed physics with his theory of relativity and Picasso set the art world afire with cubism. Playwright Steve Martin (thats right, the comedian) plays fast and loose with fact, fame, and fortune as these two geniuses talk with each other and several other fanciful characters. As Steve Martin expounds, "Focusing on Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity and Picasso’s master painting, 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon,' the play attempts to explain, in a light-hearted way, the similarity of the creative process involved in great leaps of imagination in art and science". |
