| Not for an instant did I feel as if the drama wasn’t being shown to me in “Leopoldstadt.” There have been times when Stoppard’s love of his own verbal wizardry has alienated me, but this is not one of them. The argument that his characters all speak in his voice is a worthy one, though I believe that to a great (and understandable) extent this is true of most dramatists. |

| Stoppard works in themes from earlier plays into Leopoldstadt. Assuming this is his last play (not a sure thing, I imagine), it provides audiences with a stirring, dramatic, capstone. I’ve seen most, if not all of his plays, and this one stunned me thoroughly. Bill, in San Diego, commenting on a performance from early November |
