Description
At the heart of Tom Stoppard's epic drama is a story that spans generations and war-torn Europe. In 1913, Hermann Merz, a manufacturer with a complex past, gathers his extended family in their fashionable apartment. As they navigate love, loss, and identity, Austria's tumultuous history unfolds around them. From the outbreak of war to the devastating consequences of annexation by Nazi Germany, the survivors must find a way to pass on their story, one that hasn't yet come to an end. This powerful play explores the human experience in the face of unimaginable tragedy. First performed at Wyndham's Theatre, London, in January 2020, Leopoldstadt has received widespread critical acclaim for its intimate and epic portrayal of a pivotal moment in history.
