Picasso at the Lapin Agile is a fantasy in which Picasso and Einstein and others meet in 1904 Paris at the Lapin Agile (Nimble Rabbit), a dive of a bar at a time when both men are on the verge of an amazing idea (Einstein is just about ready to submit his first paper on relativity for publication in 1905 and Picasso is ready to enter his Rose Period, painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon in 1907).
The two brilliant minds meet amidst regular patrons of the bar and have a lengthy debate about the value of genius and talent while interacting with a host of other characters. Hilarity ensues, with Steve Martin's humor ranging from the subtle and sophisticated to the absurdly outrageous.
This play may be considered PG-13 because of language.
