Friends made dinner reservations at a very expensive restaurant without checking my schedule, so I had to dash out in the middle of several courses of tiny appetizers. But do you know what? Jasmina Reza's Tony-and-Olivier best play award winner,, presented by Company OnStage, put haute cuisine completely out of mind. The production, in the tiniest of theaters, Room 233 at Spring Street Studios, was thoroughly enjoyable, supremely tasty, and worth every penny.
The painting dominates the room and dominates the three friends, setting them on a comic collision of examination and self-reflection. The very nature of their triad bromance will be tested. The white painting is an “Antrios from his '70s period,” and Serge is mighty proud of his purchase. He should be, it cost $200,000.
And the play is off and running, a 90-minute romp that dissects modern art, friendship, revelations buried under years of buddy love, incriminations, even Seneca's, and how we really don't know our best friends, or anything for that matter. The blankness of the canvas reveals all. Heaton displays Marc's steam-filled rage at being replaced in Serge's life by a painting; while Vollman's Serge is barbed and crisp with a wondrous whiff of Oscar Wilde. But it's Mena's exasperated Yvan who elevates Reza's battle of the bros.
