Paul and Emile, or, The Masterpiece

by Kai Maristead

Directed by Rebecca Berger

Paul Cezanne and Emile Zola were inseparable as schoolboys in Aix-en-Provence.  Once up in Paris they shivered sharing a bed and eating broiled sparrows, impatient for the world to recognize their genius, one as painter, the other as writer. Then, inexplicably, came a bitter falling out. A mystifying two decades of silence.

But what might happen when a curious playwright (yes) brings them together again, unexpectedly, in Cezanne’s studio, at the height of their separate life journeys?
