OPENING THE ROAD THEATRE’S SPF ON JULY 10th!
When art collector Gwendolyn Luce approaches artist Elaine Lee for her latest work, sight unseen, she never imagined what would be delivered to her Soho gallery: a twelve-year old girl named “Untitled.” Untitled introduces herself as the “future of art”--but as Gwendolyn prepares herself for the debut of the century, her own daughter, Meg, realizes she has to liberate this child--and quickly. And it’s not long before Elaine, herself, realizes she may have given away the one piece of work that meant anything to her at all. Children and Art is a dark comedy about the responsibility artists have to their art, that mothers have to their daughters, and how much of our children we actually own, anyway.
