Synopsis

Set in 1954 Paris, Nude with Violin is a light comedy of manners. The play is a satire about the high value placed on art and the hypocrisy in the art world. A famous painter, Paul Sorodin, has died. His relatives and friends converge on his studio looking forward to the money they can make from his paintings. However, to their surprise, they soon discover Paul Sorodin never actually painted any of his work.
