The zany actor/comedian made playwright rookie of the year with this, the script of his first comedy, set in a bar in 1904 Paris. Two of the regulars, twenty-somethings Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein, argue about the art of physics and the physics of art

An imagined meeting of Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein in 1904--when both men were in their twenties--Picasso at the Lapin Agile presents a compelling examination of science and art and their impact on a rapidly changing society. As the two men engage in a battle of ideas about probability, lust, artistic integrity, and the future, the play moves with ease between the breezy and the profound.

"Steve Martin's comic wit has never been sharper." – USA Today

"[Picasso at the Lapin Agile is] a very engaging 75-minute shaggy dog of a comedy.... Mr. Martin has also created a number of moments of real humor and wit.... His manner is to so mix the sublime with the ridiculous that they can't be easily disentangled." - Vincent Canby, The New York Times

"Steve Martin is a gifted screenplay writer, and as Picasso demonstrated, a smart, facile thinker with a serious reach." -Variety
