About the Play
Tom Stoppard's award-winning drama about what constitutes real love.
Story:
Henry, a successful playwright, and his wife Charlotte, also the leading lady in his most recent play that happens to deal with a struggling marriage, are dealing with a struggling marriage of their own. When Henry’s affair with friend Annie becomes more serious, he learns first-hand how life imitates art, struggles to understand what is really real, and questions ideals of relationships and love.
