Now you see it – now you don’t
A billionaire art collector is loaned a priceless painting by a major museum. When it goes missing, the lives and reputations of all those around him start to fall apart.
In a villa on a private island, four people await the arrival of a billionaire art collector – his second wife, his art dealer, an artist in residence and the curator of a national museum who arrives with a priceless painting. When the masterpiece disappears, who is the culprit?
Private View is a play about avarice, forgery and the cost of owning art. If you love Art, or hate Art, this play is for you.
