Yasmina Reza's play is essentially about the concepts of friendship and value, and the way in which the two can cause conflict. One friend tries to appease a quarrel between two others over the purchase of a work of art, but in doing so only makes things worse, forcing all three of them to re-examine their friendship and the direction in which it is going.1997 - Olivier Award Best Comedy. 1998 - Tony Award Best Play 1996 - Evening Standard Award Best Comedy. 1997 - Olivier Award Best Comedy. 1998 - Tony Award Best Play| 14 May 01 to 19 May 01 | Palace Theatre Manchester, Greater Manchester Performance Details => Venue archive |
