It's 1941 and German troops occupy France. In a vault beneath a Paris street, a more singular conflict takes place between the Ministry of Culture's Miss Fischer and the artist Pablo Picasso. Beautiful and pragmatic Miss Fischer interrogates the defiant Picasso, trying to authenticate three portraits. With his work at stake, Picasso draws Miss Fischer into a negotiation marked by mutual manipulation, unexpected revelations and a surprising final intrigue. A psychological drama by the versatile author of Compleat Female Stage Beauty, Three Viewings and an original stage adaptation of Tuesdays With Morrie .
