'Art', a play between Maven, Relater and Evangelist

Over the weekend I saw a City Theatre production of 'Art' and was struck that each of the 3 characters: Marc, Yvan and Serge are each a Maven, Relater and Evangelist. The story and the ensuing discussions about Serge's white painting become a commentary for how each of these core types see themselves and the world around them.

I didn't find myself caring much about any of the characters or the potential demise of their friendship. This seems to have a lot to do with the fact that we are mostly presented with the dark side of each of these energies. All the characters have reached the extreme dark side and basically stay there through the course of the play.
