Upcoming Event
This brilliantly charming comedy from the imagination of actor/comedian Steve Martin takes us to 1904 Paris where a young Albert Einstein and a young Pablo Picasso turn up at the same bar - the Le Lapin Agile. Both are on the verge of changing the world with their masterpieces. As they wittingly debate the value of genius and talent, we are introduced to a host of other quirky characters - including an extremely familiar visitor from the future. Full of goofiness, romance and nostalgia, 'Picasso at the Lapin Agile' is sure to entertain!
