Did you know that the most famous painter who ever lived, Pablo Picasso, once dabbled in the art of playwriting? His plays are hardly ever produced- notorious for being difficult to stage. Well, now’s your chance to check out the genius of his literary skills!

In this production, three short plays will be performed showing the growth of Absurdist theatre over the years. We start with Pablo Picasso’s “Desire Caught by the Tail” in a WORLD PREMIERE of a new translation by Milena Karpukhina from its original French, made for our very own production. We end the night with Pulitzer Prize finalist Will Eno’s “Tragedy: a tragedy”.

Pablo Picasso has been referred to by theatre historians as the predecessor to Samuel Beckett. Will Eno likewise has been called “Samuel Beckett for the Jon Stewart generation.”

Chronologizing the history of theatre of the absurd from 1940's to present day.

Run time is 110 minutes including one 15 minute intermission.

Produced by FOSTER CAT PRODUCTIONS, the team that brought you the Ethan Coen one-acts, the Shel Silverstein one-acts, and the duology of plays by Alan Arkin and Elaine May that completely sold out at the Groundlings in August!
