The first authorized English production of Yasmina Reza’s Art begins its four-day Beijing run from tonight, May 11. BJC: Why are there so few small indie productions, like Art, in Beijing? GJA: Because producing a play of any kind is really fucking hard to do, dude. Whilst theatre is a mild passion, what I really like to do is make sandwiches. I get some lamb skewers from a local Xingjiang place, make my own chilli sauce, throw it in a tortilla from the supermarket: Less stressful than theatre production.
