THE REVIEWS: Winner of the 1998 Tony Award for Best Play.  Winner of the 1996 Olivier Award for Best Comedy.  "… wildly funny, naughtily provocative…" —NY Post. “… a nonstop cross-fire of crackling language, serious issues of life and art expressed in outbursts that sound like Don Rickles with a degree from the Sorbonne … Reza is a fiendishly clever writer … ART sounds like a marriage of Molière and Woody Allen …" —Newsweek.  "Anyone looking for a play that is funny, sophisticated, stylish, stimulating and moving should go to ART. —Independent (London).  "That such a simple plot can throw up such profound and meaty ideas about the rules that dictate art and friendship is a real treat.  Reza and Hampton have an acute ear for the idiocies, trivia and petty assaults that pepper the conversation between friends … The real pleasures come from Reza's creation of three beautifully defined, original characters …" —The Mail (London).  "In October I called it a minor classic.  Let's change that to classic comedy, period." —London Times.
