Synopsis

A sophisticated, philosophical French comedy …  Marc cannot believe that his friend Serge has bought a hugely expensive modern painting – seemingly entirely white – and this ignites a quarrel about Life, Art, Values & Friendship. The play’s third character, a friend of them both, tries to mediate with hilarious consequences. The question is – Are you who you think you are, or are you who your friends think you are?
