STARS of the visual arts and theatre have united for the British premiere of a short play at the Old Vic in which sculptures were brought to life.

A cast featuring Kevin Spacey, Joseph Fiennes and Jeremy Irons gave voice to half a dozen modern sculptures including works by Sol Lewitt, Jeff Koons and Giacometti which were remote-controlled on stage.

The performance, devised by artists Elmgreen and Dragset, heralds a run of shows opening alongside the Frieze Art Fair. Elmgreen and Dragset have a show at the Victoria Miro Gallery.
