Book Reviews of Picasso at the Lapin Agile and Other Plays
Book Review: "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" - art meets smart
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't read the other plays yet, but I just finished reading 'Picasso' yesterday. I laughed out loud several times. There were some very clever lines, such as: "Why would an artist be cynical?" "I think it's called marketing." Who couldn't like a play involving a clash between Art (Picasso) and Smart (Einstien) which ends with Elvis Presley showing up at the end ("I like to show up where people least expect it, you know..supermarkets, fair grounds, but I got bored, so, uh, I thought I'd do a little time-traveling")? I think the self-references ("Wait, you're fourth in order of appearence, you're early") were unneccesary, and that technique is really old at this time. But anyway, it was very entertaining. I'm going to see it performed live tonight. I can't wait!
