This is a study of three long term friends that put their friendship on review because of differences of opinion on an expensive painting one purchases... It is all about what they based their friendships on... Wonderful energy... Good timing, worth seeing...Written on Feb 17 2012

I thoroughly enjoyed this play. It was well acted with great dialogue. It is amazing how a seemingly innocent event in our lives can shake the foundations of friendships forged over time and cause us to re-examine the basis for our continued friendships. I would highly recommend this humorous and poignant play to anyone wishing a great time and also willing to accept a challenge in their lives to re-examine their existing friendships and loves. Go see it with someone.Written on Mar 10 2012

From the minute we entered the small venue theater, we were greeted by the manager who gave us our tickets. We then found 3 seats and due to the small venue, any seat really would have been great.The manager then came in before the start of the play and was very welcoming and congenial. The play was wonderful, in terms of storyline and acting. After the show, the actors were greeting patrons in the lobby which was so nice. I would recommend this play to all adult audiences since I think the content may be lost on a younger audience.Written on Feb 13 2012

Description
One of Marc's best friends, Serge, has just bought a very expensive painting. It's about five feet by four, all white with white diagonal lines. To Marc, the painting is a joke, but Serge insists Marc doesn't have the proper standard to judge the work. Another friend, Ivan, allows himself to be pulled into this disagreement. Eager to please, Ivan tells Serge he likes the painting. Lines are drawn and these old friends square off over the canvas, using it as an excuse to relentlessly batter one another over various failures. As their arguments become more personal, they border on destroying their friendships. At the breaking point, Serge hands Marc a felt tip pen and dares him: "Go on." This is where the friendship is finally tested, and the aftermath of action, and its reaction, affirms the power of those bonds.
