Travesties
Tom Stoppard1975

TRAVESTIES, by Tom Stoppard is witty, funny, moving, and thought provoking. Stoppard has taken an historical coincidence - in 1917 James Joyce, Tristan Zara, Lenin, and several Brits were living in Zurich, while WW I raged
around them - and has imagined an engaging collision, indeed intense explosion, of these characters and their vivid and opposing ideas of what art should be, while extrapolating and interweaving ideas and characters from Oscar Wilde's THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, that Joyce in fact produced during that time in Zurich.
