With award-winning comedian Seann Walsh, Chris Harper (Call the Midwife, Coronation Street) and Aden Gillett (The Crown, The House of Elliot) as the stars, Iqbal Khan (East is East, National Theatre and Othello, RSC) directs a new production of Yasmina Reza's fiendishly clever and hilariously funny play, currently on tour.

This multi-award-winning play (winner of Best Comedy at the Olivier Awards, Tony Awards and Moliere Awards), which is being presented by Joshua Beaumont and Original Theatre, is a razor-sharp exploration of art, love and friendship that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.

A seemingly simple purchase of contemporary art - an all-white painting – ignites a hilarious debate amongst three close friends.

What begins as a light-hearted discussion about art quickly descends into a riotous exploration of the blurred lines between art and reality.
