The Real Thing
by Tom Stoppard
November 5 - December 5, 1999
Extended through December 12
directed by Gary Griffin
Tom Stoppard's razor-sharp wit burns with passion in this deeply layered play about the overwhelming struggle of finding and knowing love. More than faintly autobiographical, the play's repressed but magnetic hero, Henry, is a playwright of intellectual prowess who doesn't know how to write about this thing called love. Mr. Stoppard's most emotionally-charged play exposes two raw and private souls that become one, despite the distance in their public postures.
As funny and sexy as the Oscar-winning "Shakespeare in Love", you'll enjoy the theatrics and classic literary wit of this earlier Stoppard work. Gary Griffin, who directed the acclaimed Court Theatre production of Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde will direct. |
