Now nominated for FOUR TONY AWARDS including Best Revival of a Play, Best Actor in a Play (Tom Hollander), Best Director of a Play (Patrick Marber) and Best Sound Design of a Play (Adam Cork).
Roundabout's dazzling new production of Travesties, Tom Stoppard's Tony Award-winning Best Play, has arrived - and The New York Times says it's "ridiculously entertaining." An artist, a writer and a revolutionary collide in this "giddy, head-spinning triumph" (Entertainment Weekly), a kaleidoscopic thrill-ride through the worlds of art and revolution in 1917 Switzerland...and in the maze of one man's memory.
This "knock-the-wind-out-of-you magnificent revival" (New York Magazine) is "an uproarious work of art, impeccably directed by Patrick Marber" (Newsday). 2017 Olivier nominee Tom Hollander leads the cast, and he is "marvelous" (Time Out New York).
Travesties. New York Stage Review says it's "possibly the only perfect production now occupying a Broadway theater. Get there fast."
Good luck making sense of 'Travesties,' Tom Stoppard's difficult, diffuse and dense 1974 comedy of faulty memory and early 20th century European history and culture, which has returned to Broadway in a robust revival produced originally by London's Menier Chocolate Factory and brought to New York by the Roundabout Theatre Company.'
Only a playwright as brilliantly inventive as Stoppard could put all that together to come up with an uproarious work that seriously questions the nature of art. He tells the story through the eyes of Henry Carr (Tom Hollander, delightfully zany) a real-life British diplomat we first meet as a doddering old man in rumpled robe and crumpled straw hat, fighting through his senility to recall these people who invaded his life.
