Chautauqua takes some chill out of Stoppard Cold War piece

Post-Gazette: "It's considered by some to be a dated telling of Soviet oppression, but the Chautauqua production received a boost when Vladimir Bukovsky, the inspiration for the play when he was jailed as a political prisoner/mental patient, hit the headlines once more in 2007. Bukovsky was asked by a group of Russian activists to run in the next year's Russian presidential election, but the political dissident and author was turned down in January because he still possessed a British passport and had not lived in a Russian territory for 10 years"
