‘Love is the greatest refreshment in life,’ said Picasso, the undisputed genius painter who bled his women for his art. Among them was his first wife Olga, a Ukrainian-Russian ballet dancer at the Ballets Russes whom he abandoned for the young Marie-Thérèse Walter.

But before long Walter too was cast aside for the fiery Dora Maar, a gifted artist, poet and photographer who intellectually challenged Picasso. But perhaps too much as, yes, you’ve guessed it, she too was replaced by a new leading lady: Fançoise Gilot. And on it went.

Should he be judged or forgiven? Terry d’Alfonso’s critically acclaimed play leaves you to decide.

Co-adapted for solo performance and directed by Guy Masterson, this Playground Theatre performance promises to be an ‘explosive, deeply passionate voyage of self-revelation’. With multi-award winner Peter Tate in the title role, we couldn’t be more excited.

But hurry! It’s only running for just over a week and tickets are selling fast. See you there.
