The Real Thing
November 5, 1999 – December 12, 1999
by Tom Stoppard
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.
