But is it art? (2)

What would you say if your best friend spent 200,000 francs on a piece of art that looks, to you, like a blank white canvas? (No, he shouts, it's not white. It has pale diagonal stripes on it in pale grey. Besides, it's by a famous artist.) Playwright Yasmina Reza amusingly explores the dynamic of the three friends as they tussle over this expensive artwork. It's on now at the cosy Alma Tavern pub theatre (cosy in size, although the plastic seats are less deserving of this description).
