Art is a contemporary play about a contemporary friendship threatened by contemporary art.
It is painted entirely in shades of white. While the friends' evening proves near disastrous, the audience' s evening is utterly hilarious as Reza deftly reveals truths about men and art, and the ties that bind them. Following this, she translated Kafka's Metamorphosis for Roman Polanski. Since then it has been produced worldwide and translated into 20 languages. The London production received the 1996-97 Olivier Award and Evening Standard Award and continues to play at the Wyndham's Theatre.
