What: The old masters is a play is set in 1937. Bernard Berenson, a renowned art critic, connoisseur, writer, and collector, is discussing art and world affairs with his wife Mary and his mistress Nicky in the gardens of his opulent villa overlooking Florence.

Meanwhile, unknown to Berenson, in a hotel in Florence multimillionaire Joseph Duveen, the world's pre-eminent art dealer, is preparing to visit him late that night with a priceless Renaissance painting. Duveen knows that this visit may shatter their 30 year-old, highly secret, business arrangement.

This play offers an insight into the fascinating world of the market in fine art via the real life relationship between Duveen and Berenson. From the author Simon Gray and the director Harold Pinter, the cast for this short run includes Edward Fox, Peter Bowles, Barbara Jefford, Sally Dexte and Steven Pacey.
