Travesties
Tom Stoppard
‘
Travesties
is a superb comedy, a work of thought and imagination.’
Stage and Television
‘It is a champagne cocktail, compounded of a balletic nimbleness of invention, a bewildering intricacy of design which reaches the sublime heights where mathematics merge with poetry, and the audacious juggling of ideas of a master conjuror.’
Sunday Telegraph
‘A dazzling pyrotechnical feat that combines Wildean pastiche, political history, artistic debate, spoof reminiscence, and song-and-dance in marvellously judicious proportions. The text itself is a Joycean web of literary allusions; yet it also radiates sheer intellectual
joie de vivre
, as if Stoppard were delightedly communicating the fruits of his own researches.’
