Self-aware, tongue-in-cheek, and a bit of a farce, but sweet and full of intellectual fire and movement. Some of these plays are magical (literally and figuratively), some are absurd, but all are thoughtful and enjoyable. In the titular play, Picasso remarks, “I want to leave the world littered with beauty.” Steve Martin has littered these plays with beauty and humanity, in his skewed and subtle way.
