Picnic Night

The Christophers (15)

Sat 11 Jul 2026

Tickets on sale soon

What is the value of art? Does it reside in personal expression? Cultural longevity? Financial worth?

These questions fuel Steven Soderbergh’s gloriously entertaining comedy, THE CHRISTOPHERS. Julian Sklar (McKellen) was once a star of London’s 1960’s and 70’s pop art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years. His two estranged children, desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori, an art restorer and former forger (Coel), to pose as a prospective assistant in order to access unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in storage. A sharp and remarkable tale of creativity, legacy, and avarice.
