Produced by UF’s chapter of Alpha Psi Omega, an honorary theatre fraternity, and directed by Scott Hayes, theatre program director, the comedy has been described as “wild and crazy.” It was written by former “Saturday Night Live” comedian and current television and movie actor Steve Martin.

The play features a fictional meeting between two geniuses: Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein. Martin sets the fun in a Paris bar before either man has become famous, and the two debate art and science in a funny and insightful way. Watch for the surprise “visitor from the future” who shows up to add his two cents.

Although Einstein and Picasso never met in real life, their attraction to the fourth dimension and their ability to see beyond appearances binds their work. Both were part of café society — Einstein at the Café Bollwerk and Picasso at the Lapin Agile, a hotspot of Montmartre society (the name meant “nimble rabbit”). The great works of these men emerged two years apart. Einstein released his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905 and Picasso completed Les Demoiselles D’Avignon in 1907.
