WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Tom Stoppard, arguably the world's greatest living playwright, developed his talent writing teleplays for the BBC in the 1960s. Each of these early pieces creates a unique world with memorable characters, demonstrating the wit and intelligence that have become Stoppard's trademarks. Boomerang will perform three of these early works, some of which have never been seen on stage before. Tim Errickson, Christopher Thomasson and Rachel Wood direct.
