**Richard Roxburgh** (*Rake*, *The Correspondent*, *Elvis*), **Damon Herriman** (*Better Man*, *Mr Inbetween*, *Once Upon a Time in Hollywood*) and **Toby Schmitz** (*Boy Swallows Universe, Gaslight*, *Grief is the Thing with Feathers*) star together in the internationally award-winning play *ART *by **Yasmina Reza.** A razor-sharp comedy about friendship, ego and the chaos a single opinion can cause.

When one friend buys a ridiculously expensive painting, the others don’t just question his taste – they question everything.

Egos flare. Old wounds resurface. And a decades-long friendship begins to fracture.

With biting wit and pitch-perfect timing, *ART *explores how the smallest things, especially the unspoken ones, can spiral into something much bigger.
