You have to love the many talents of Steve Martin. here again Martin shows his writing talent in several unique short plays. Martin's unique sense of humor comes to life in these characters. The main title play Picasso At The Lapin Agile blends an interesting story where a young Picasso and a young Einstein meet in a bar. My personal favorite play was WASP which is also very original and unique. A must read for any Steve Martin fan. ( )

Picasso and the Lapin Agile is the story of a hypothetical meeting between Picasso and Einstein in Paris in 1904. It alternates between comic absurdity and well-crafted insight into the nature of genius in the twentieth century. The absurdity alone wouldn't be worth the read, but the combination is beautiful and witty.

The three shorter plays are all essentially commentaries on human relationships. I retain a soft spot for WASP, in which I played the mother (and basically directed by default) in my senior year acting class. ( )

Martin's plays are witty, intelligent and bittersweet. I've never performed any of them or even used them for monologues, but I have read them so many times that I have memorized entire portions of Picasso, Patter for the Floating Lady and the Zig-Zag Woman. ( )

"Picasso at the Lapin Agile" was the first production of my university's 2005-2006 season. It's a hilarious show, and makes you think as well. Steve Martin will excel at anything he does. ( )

The first play in this collection was decent (Lapin Agile) but the others weren't anything remarkable, or even all that good, really. Most of the plays feel like writing or thought exercises, and I don't think they would have been published had the author not been Steve Martin. ( )

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com (ISBN 0802135234, Paperback)

Ever wonder what it would have been like if wild and crazy Steve Martin had written an episode of "The Twilight Zone"? Well, wonder no more. The zany actor/comedian made playwright rookie of the year with this, the script of his first comedy, set in a bar in 1904 Paris. Two of the regulars, twentysomethings Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein, argue about the art of physics and the physics of art as they try to impress and bed a pretty girl. And then the space/time/culture continuum ruptures, and they're joined by a figure from the future who seems to be . . . Elvis Presley! Read for yourself why the show's been done Off-Broadway and at regionals around the country.
