A COMEDY OF THE ABSURD BY STEVE MARTIN
PRODUCED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT WITH SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
|
|
|
Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein walk into a bar.... No, it not a joke, it's a play that could only spring from the mind of comedian Steve Martin. Set in a Paris cafe in 1904, just before each man introduced the work that would make him famous, Martin places the two geniuses center stage for a merry romp and sometimes ridiculous look at the artistic, the scientific and the romantic. "Martin sends ideas onstage in baggy pants, with a cigar ... Very good fun." - N.Y. Times

|
Freddy: Owner/bartender of the Lapin Agile. He is a dreamer and supporter of the arts. Loves a good discussion/debate. Has been Germaine's boyfriend for a number of years, yet has not asked her to marry him. Longs to be "more" than he is. (Age: 30-40)
|
Gaston: Connoisseur of woman, now past his prime but still trying. Humorous, wise and utterly French. (Age: 60+)
|
Germaine: Waitress, Freddy's long term girlfriend. Worldly wise, smart, strong; not a glamorous lady, yet undeniably sensual. Voluptuous, earthy and witty. (Age: 30's-40's)
|
Albert Einstein: The not-yet famous scientist, currently a patent clerk, approximately one year before publishing The Special Theory of Relativity. Has the energy and excitement of someone about to prove himself. (Age: 25-35)
|
Suzanne: Young French beauty that has been a lover/inspiration of late to Picasso. Thinks she is far more worldly than she really is, however, she is not entirely naive nor is she unintelligent. A fast learner. (Age: Early 20's)
|
Sagot: Picasso's art dealer, warm, funny if a bit blunt. He has an intuitive sense of what will sell and what won't. Negotiates art sales with killer precision, but is not without a heart. (Age: 30s-60s)
|
Pablo Picasso: The painter, currently in the midst of his portraiture and "Blue" phase. He hungers for success as an artist, hasn't quite broken through; at the point that the play takes place, he is approximately three years away from creating Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, arguably the painting that launched the Cubist movement. (Age: 25-35)
|
Charles Dabernow Schmendiman: An up and coming business man; he thinks very highly of himself and his potential, obnoxiously unscrupulous and a braggart. (Age: 30's-60's)
|
The Countess: Intellectual, noble; patron and love interest for Einstein. Has Bright Red Hair, actress will be asked to dye hair if not a red head. (Age: 20+)
|
A Visitor: He wears blue suede shoes, has a very distinctive way of swinging his hips, a good southern gent that will be a famous crooner, has a tendency to wear rhinestones and should be readily recognizable to our audiences. (If you still can't figure it out, ask us at auditions!!!) (Age: 25-40)
|
Female Admirer: The ultimate fan girl, almost swooning with excitement. Could be doubled with the Countess.(Age: 20's)
