Deeply moving and startlingly funny, this razor sharp drama brilliantly examines the complex nature of love, art and reality.

Consistently wise and witty Tom Stoppard is one of the most important writers of our time. He is the recipient of four Tony Awards, four Critics’ Circle Awards, seven Evening Standard Awards, an Olivier, Academy and BAFTA Award. His film credits include Shakespeare in Love, Enigma and Empire of the Sun. Theatre credits include Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Jumpers, Coast of Utopia, Rock ‘N’ Roll and Arcadia.
