Travesties Av Tom Stoppard

<p>¿Tom Stoppard¿s <i>Travesties</i> is witty, playful and wise. Forty years on, it is starting to look timeless as well.¿ <i>Sunday Times</i><br><br>¿It is a champagne cocktail, compounded of a balletic nimbleness of invention, a bewildering intricacy of design which reaches the sublime heights where mathematics merge with poetry, and the audacious juggling of a master conjuror.¿ <i>Sunday Telegraph</i><br><br>¿A dazzling pyrotechnical feat that combines Wildean pastiche, political history, artistic debate, spoof reminiscence, and song-and-dance in marvellously judicious proportions. The text itself is a Joycean web of literary allusions; yet it also radiates sheer intellectual <i>joie de vivre</i>, as if Stoppard were delightedly communicating the fruits of his own researches.¿ <i>Guardian</i><br><br><i>Travesties </i>was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Aldwych Theatre, London, in June 1974. This edition includes a new preface by the author, and revisions made
