| The Roundabout did a revival at their Criterion space around 1992 and paired it with another, even shorter Stoppard called The 15 Minute Hamlet (which was just that) and, at least in my memory, even funnier. A great cast that were in both plays, including Simon Jones, J Smith Cameron, Jeff Weiss, Jane Summerhays and Patricia Conolly. Personally, like all Stoppard, I think the plays need those kind of really superb comedic actors to pull off the evening. Did anyone else happen to see it? | |

| "Did anyone else happen to see it?" I was lucky enough to see every performance. Excellent cast. Jones was comic genius as Hamlet. He's a wonderful Stoppard interpreter and was a surprising replacement Max in The Real Thing. |

| I read an article recently about a message in a bottle that was found after being lost in the ocean for 40 years. In my head, it was in the aftermath of WWII... but then I did the math and it was after Reagan was elected. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | |

| I recall seeing the elderly Groucho Marx on a talk show in the early '70s. At one point, he referred to his days in vaudeville with his brothers during the First World War, and spoke of it as "thirty years ago." His math was off by a quarter century. At the time I found this startling. But hey, that was at least thirty years ago. |

| Perhaps you didn't read Amiens' post before correcting them. Amiens said: "The Roundabout did a revival at their Criterion space around 1992". It was, in fact, a bit over 29 years ago, if you're invested in accuracy. Amiens' subject line was pretty obviously a typo. |

| I could claim the "twenty years ago" was a typo or auto-correct....but no, it was a simple miscalculation. When you get old, time flies by. | |

| Miscalculation, typo...you got the year right. ...and, imo, everything else. I am a huge fan of Stoppard, but I agree that it takes a special breed of actor to perform his work in general, not just his comedy. Thanks for bringing back a happy work memory! A lovely version with Austin Pendleton as Hamlet was filmed. |
