This is one of my favorite plays. I saw it performed in 1996 at Temple University. It has stuck with me for a long time. I am not the most literate theatre person but I have seen many of Tom's plays/screenplays and I can say I truly am a fan. I was in NY over spring break and walked past the theatre where this is opening. I was only there for a limited time and had tickets to Spiderman, Turn Off the Dark, in retrospect, I would have much rather seen Tom Stoppard's play. I feel the characters are intriguing and witty. I imagined that's how I would be if I lived in 1908. I see in the closing paragraph that Mr. Stoppard is planning on writing a play based on the subprime mortgage debacle of the last few years, I'm excited to see this work develop as I know a lot more about this crisis than 17 century English landscapes.
