Travesties
4.2 (19) · Modern, Contemporary
Tom Stoppard's dazzling comedy of art, love and revolution features James Joyce, Tristan Tzara and Lenin as remembered - and misremembered - by Henry Carr, a minor British diplomat in Zurich 1917.
Overview
When Gwendolen and Cecily wander in from The Importance of Being Earnest Henry's mind wanders too. He knows he was Algernon in a production in Zurich. But who was the other one?
The original production of Travesties won the Evening Standard award for Best Comedy and the Tony award for Best Play. This first London revival in over 20 years will be directed by Patrick Marber and will star
Tom Hollander.

It's like vintage champagne, rich and effervescent at first sip, with a mellow, lingering aftertaste of deeper tones.
