Winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play and Best Playwright, "Picasso at the Lapin Agile" revolves around an imaginary 1904 meeting between Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein in the legendary Paris bistro Lapin Agile. A dashing Picasso is on the cusp of revolutionizing the world of art through Cubism with "Les Demoiselles D'Avignon," while a fiery Einstein is about to revolutionize physics with his theory of relativity. The two come to realize their aspirations transcend time and space. They also discover how science and art will impact the human condition and shape their own rapidly-changing society.
