The One That Got Away

If you’re kicking yourself for not making the trek up to Morrison last fall to see the well-received Miners Alley production of Jeffrey Hatcher’s A Picasso, opportunity is knocking again: The exact staging, with Chris Kendall as Picasso and Paige Lynn Larson as Miss Fischer, the Nazi attaché, is being revived at the Mercury Cafe, beginning tonight at 7:30 p.m. In the drama, Picasso is called to a cafe, and the Gestapo gal he meets there has been assigned to certify which of three Picasso works confiscated from Jewish families is the real thing; the ensuing power struggle between the fiery, egotistical artist and his cold interrogator is the meat of a complex work. Kendall and Larson both won local kudos for their commanding performances in what is essentially a two-person show.
