Wheaton Drama - Picasso at the Lapin Agile By Steve Martin

This clever show sees Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein having a conversation at a bar in Paris in 1904. Picasso has not yet turned the art world on its head with Cubism, and Einstein is not  known for a "little" idea - his Theory of Relativity. The conversation ranges from the ridiculous to the sublime as these geniuses, joined by interesting bystanders, discuss the creative process and the foibles and accomplishments of humanity.
