Art (Yasmina Reza)

Generally associated with their Shakespeare in the Park productions, Elm Shakespeare has added this fine production of Yasmina Reza's Art to its repertoire. The production gans particular resonance with its performance in a small art gallery in New Haven's Westville neighborhood. We saw its final performance, played before a sold-out crowd.

The acting was very good, not at all forced or stiff, probably because the space was so easy to fill.
