Annotation: In this two hander we have Pablo Picasso: the great self-publicist, the first artistic millionaire, and a man with a garguantan appetite for work, life and sex. We also have Jaime Sabartes, lifelong friend, helper, publicist, business manager, biographer and confidant. This verbally venemous, effervescent play is an often hilarious exploration of power, friendship, sex, money and the nature of genius.

It is 1973. Picasso has just died. Sabartes is in some strange limbo - and Picasso joins him. However Sabartes is no longer the oppressed doormat he once was. He starts to take Picasso apart...

They reminisce, argue and resurrect the triumphs, escapades and characters from their extraordinary lives. Gradually they edge closer to the ultimate truth, the ultimate quarrel, and the ultimate betrayal...
