PRIVATE VIEW by Marc Blake, 7.30pm, Monday 21 October, Upstairs North London Tavern

In a villa on a private island, four people await the arrival of a billionaire collector; his embittered second wife, an art dealer, a mixed-race artist in residence and the curator of a national museum, who arrives with a priceless painting.

When the 20th century masterpiece disappears, all are suspects...

PRIVATE VIEW IS A 60 minute play about avarice, forgery, the making of and the human cost of owning art.
