Travesties
The First World War is raging throughout Europe.
Meanwhile in a library in Zurich some of the most acute minds of the Twentieth Century seek sanctuary. Lenin, Tristan Tzara, James Joyce and minor consular official, Henry Carr prepare to mount a seminal (amateur) production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest.
In this classic comedy, Tom Stoppard juxtaposes the ridiculous pomposity of the brilliantly unremarkable Henry Carr against the exuberance and wit of some of the greatest talents of the last century. This is Stoppard at his best.
