The Old Vis has announced that Tim Key (Winer 2009 Edinburgh Comedy Award), Paul Ritter ( The Audience, The Norman Conquests) and Rufus Sewell ( Closer, ITV’s Victoria) will star in the revival of Yasmina Reza’s play Art.
Artistic Director Matthew Warchus has reassembled the play’s original creative team including designer Mark Thompson, lighting designer Hugh Vanstone, sound designer Mic Pool and music by Gary Yershon.
Yasmina Reza’s plays have been adapted in over 35 languages and performed throughout the world. Her plays Art and God of Carnage won both the Olivier and Tony Awards, and the latter was adapted for film by Roman Polanski as Carnage (2011, César for Best Scenario). In 2010 she directed her first film, Chicas.
Art will play at The Old Vic Theatre from Sat 10 December 2016 – Saturday 18 February 2017.
