Castle Hill Players complete their sensational season of plays with perhaps the funniest and wittiest of all … Steve Martin ’ s Picasso at the Lapin Agile .
The 2022 Season at the Pavilion Theatre has seen audiences returning in droves after the COVID-enforced madness of the previous two years . And they ’ ve been thrilled to a year of drama , romance , tear-jerkers … and sparkling comedies . A night out at the beautiful Pavilion Theatre is always a treat .
Now , to crown the year with laughs and welcome in the festive season , Castle Hill Players are proud to present Picasso at the Lapin Agile , written by US comedy legend Steve Martin and directed by CHP veteran Dave Went ( The Cripple of Inishmaan , How the Other Half Loves , Wanted : One Body , Leading Ladies ).
This play ’ s production is dedicated in loving memory to the late Jewell Johnson .
Albert Einstein meets Pablo Picasso in a Parisian cafe in 1904 , just before Einstein transformed physics and Picasso set the art world on fire . These two geniuses banter and muse on the century passed and the century yet to come .
Montmartre locals - including the bartender and his mistress , Picasso ’ s agent and his date , an elderly philosopher , a countess , and an idiot inventor , round out the ensemble and stamp their own indelible mark on proceedings . The final surprise patron to join the merriment at the Lapin Agile is a charismatic , dark haired , time traveller with blue suede shoes . But no spoilers … you ’ ll simply have to attend Picasso at the Pavilion !
