Fall Main Stage Theatre Production - This long running Off-Broadway absurdist comedy places Albert Einstein and
Pablo Picasso in a Parisian café in 1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics with his theory of
relativity and the celebrated painter set the art world afire with cubism. In his first comedy for the stage, the
popular actor and screenwriter plays fast and loose with fact, fame and fortune as these two geniuses muse on the
century's achievements and prospects as well as other fanciful topics with infectious dizziness.
