Word Play With Christopher Hampton of ‘The Philanthropist’

NYTimes.com: "The play, written in 1969, charts the lives of a randy and nerdy group of English university intellectuals, including a lonely philology professor (played by Matthew Broderick in the current Broadway revival, now in previews) who has a talent for creating anagrams on the spot. There is a suicide, seductions and a smug dinner party. And yes, it’s a comedy."
