| Stoppard fans will be in their element at this crazy quilt melange of politics, literature and art. I was a bit lost. I’d never seen the earlier Broadway production so didn’t know quite what to expect, although I remember from other Stoppard works that he can be too clever for his own good. A good bit of Act 1 flew over my head even though I had read the useful background material in the playbill beforehand. The dozens of allusions fly by. While I admired Tom Holland’s bravura performance, his breakneck speed of line delivery proved challenging, at least to my ears. I found Act Two to be the more entertaining portion of the evening, with a delightful vaudevillian take on The Importance of Being Earnest. |
