Bosom buddies for the past 15 years, Serge, Marc and Yvan's friendship is put to the test when Serge decides to pay a ridiculously high price for a modern painting - a white canvas with a few faint, white lines. Tension ensues when Marc calls the painting ''a piece of white shit'' and Serge decides to defend it stubbornly. Their differences in taste quickly degenerates into a relentless attack on each other's failures in life. The absurdity of the situation escalates when Yvan, who is caught in the middle, vacillates between Serge and Marc as he tries to save the deteriorating friendship.

Hailed as her best-known comedic work, ART by French playwright Yasmina Reza is a woman's keen observation of the complexities of friendship between men. This play has also won numerous awards in London and New York. Created by the team behind Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (Huayi 2012) and Twelve Angry Men (Huayi 2013), and directed by Nelson Chia, this production gathers three of the most acclaimed male actors from the Singapore Mandarin theatre scene - Oliver Chong, Peter Sau and Liu Xiaoyi, in this humorous and poignant performance.

Serge，Marc和Yvan是三个拥有十五年交情的好朋友，但是他们的深厚友谊却受到了挑战，起因在于Serge以不可思议的天价买下一幅画—— 一幅背景全白，外加几条白色的细线条的现代画。当这幅画被Marc形容为“狗屁”时，Serge却坚持自己的眼光是对的，一场唇枪舌战随即展开。他们对艺术品味的分歧渐渐发展为互揭疮疤的攻击。被夹在中间的Yvan为了维持三人的友谊，两边讨好，结果越帮越忙，使这场荒诞的争执越演越烈。

法国剧作家Yasmina Reza以敏锐的女性视角，写出了男性的友情纠结。《艺术》是她最为人知，也是在伦敦和纽约得奖无数的优秀喜剧作品。
