Victor B.
An excellent play done in a very different setting. This is a small, intimate theater with the audience sitting on both sides of the stage. The acting was very, very good.Written on Mar 01 2007

Description
Written by Jeffrey Hatcher
Directed by Gilbert Cates
Starring Roma Downey and Peter Michael Goetz
Set in 1941, during the German occupation of Paris, Picasso is secreted to a dusty underground vault where he encounters a beautiful young Gestapo art critic-turned -interrogator. The sexy inquisitor's job is to get Picasso to authenticate three of his paintings amidst the vault full of artwork confiscated by the Nazis so that it can be publicly burned. It's Picasso under pressure. Who will win this cat-and-mouse game?
