"This is the night the Earth fell quiet and listened to a conversation."

What happens when a genius recognizes that they are a genius before the world discovers their genius? Renowned comic Steve Martin explores this idea when he brings together a young and over-confident Pablo Picasso and a socially awkward Albert Einstein in a small bar in turn-of-the-century Paris. Each of them is convinced of their own self worth, even though the world hasn't truly discovered who they are yet. This witty battle of the brains is a comedy with something to say about the state of art, culture and the burden of greatness. With a colorful cast of characters including the women they admire, an affable bar owner, an aging but devoted regular, a visitor from the future and a flashy inventor reeking of mediocrity, this 90-minute play promises to be an evening of thoughtful laughter and entertainment!
