Travel in time with 'A Picasso'
By John Fleming, Times Performing Arts Critic
Published January 17, 2008
It's 1941 in Nazi-occupied Paris and Pablo Picasso is being interrogated by a German art critic in Jeffrey Hatcher's A Picasso. She wants the artist to authenticate three confiscated drawings as his for reasons that become menacingly clear as the encounter proceeds. "No collection is complete without a Picasso," she says. The Stageworks production of the two-character play stars Linda Slade and Petrus Antonius and opens tonight. Hatcher is a popular playwright in West Florida this season. Smash, his adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's 1883 novel An Unsocial Socialist, opens Feb. 15 at Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota. A Picasso runs through Feb. 3 at Gorilla Theatre, 4419 N Hubert Ave., Tampa. 7 p.m. Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 3 p.m. Sunday (2 p.m. Feb. 3). $20, $25; $10 for students with ID 30 minutes before curtain, or half price with reservation. (813) 879-2914; www.gorilla-theatre.com.
