Ever wonder what it would have been like if wild and crazy Steve Martin had written an episode of “The Twilight Zone”? Well, wonder no more. The zany actor/comedian made playwright rookie of the year with this, the script of his first comedy, set in a bar in 1904 Paris. Two of the regulars, twentysomethings Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein, argue about the art of physics and the physics of art as they try to impress and bed a pretty girl. And then the space/time/culture continuum ruptures, and they’re joined by a figure from the future who seems to be . . . Elvis Presley! Read for yourself why the show’s been done Off-Broadway and at regionals around the country.
