Directed by Michael P. Watkins
August 4 - August 26, 2006

This sophisticated comedy places a young Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian cafe, Au Lapin Agile, in 1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics with his theory of relativity and the celebrated painter set the art world afire with cubism.

In his first comedy for the stage, Martin plays fast and loose with fact, fame and fortune as these two geniuses speculate on the coming century's achievements and prospects as well as other fanciful topics with infectious dizziness. The subject matter is daring, providing lots of laughs and moments of enlightenment.
