The art of the matter

Jun 6 2008 by Michael Green, Flintshire Chronicle

TIP Top Productions will be staging the hit comedy Art in The Forum Studio Theatre in Chester next week from June 5-14.

Yasmina Reza’s comedy centres on three men and a painting. They’re a likeable trio – the sort of people who enjoy good food, good wine and good conversation.

Their friendship is threatened when one of them, Serge, blows a huge sum of money on a piece of “modern art”.

The reactions of his friends and the bizarre arguments that follow combine to make a funny yet bittersweet comedy.

Playing the roles of Serge, Marc and Yvan are Steve Davies, Simon Phillips and Andy Jordan.

Simon Phillips and Andy Jordan return to the Forum stage following their performances in Bouncers.

Steve is well known to Tip Top audiences for his numerous acting roles and directing credits including the recent sell out production of Stepping Out.

Tickets can be purchased from the Forum box office on 01244 341296 or online at www.tiptopproductions.co.uk
