Picasso at the Lapin Agile
Written by Steve Martin
What do you think would happen if one evening, in a quaint pub in Paris, Pablo Picasso were to meet Albert Einstein? What if they met each other even before the world knew who they were? And what if you had a chance to find out? Tahatto presents Steve Martin's 'Picasso at the Lapin Agile' - a hilarious yet intellectually stimulating play about art, science, perception, belief and the definition of beauty.
Know Picasso and Einstein like you never have, as their lives merge in a twist of fate. Cubism and Relativity have never been funnier. Throw in a bunch of colourful characters, each with their own quirks, a mysterious visitor from the future, and there you have it - a premise that will make you laugh, ponder, dance and sing!
What makes it special?
Back in 2010, when we staged this play, we were still very new to the art of theatre. As we learnt more, we felt there was a lot more we could do with the play and we worked on it from scratch yet again in 2012. The result was a spectacular set of shows where we pushed our boundaries across all areas especially sets, lights, music, costumes, performances and promotions.

"I walked out into the rainy evening after the show, sure that Tahatto is a group that I need to watch...and a group that discerning playgoers need to watch, too!"
