About Leopoldstadt
They return to Broadway with his critically acclaimed, Olivier Award-winning new play, the humane and heartbreaking Leopoldstadt. Set in Vienna, the play takes its title from the Jewish quarter. This passionate drama of love and endurance begins in the last days of 1899 and follows one extended family deep into the heart of the 20th century. Full of his customary wit and beauty, Stoppard's late work spans fifty years of time over two hours. Tom Stoppard is endlessly intrigued by questions of fate, chance, coincidence, in history as well as in love, and in the epic, breathtaking Leopoldstadt, he examines the consequence of an entire people trapped in a common fate. The Washington Post With a cast of 38 actors and direction by Patrick Marber, will play on Broadway for a limited time only.
