Description

Zurich, 1917. A city torn apart by war, yet home to three of the twentieth century's greatest revolutionaries: James Joyce, Tristan Tzara, and Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better known as Lenin. In this riotously funny play, Tom Stoppard brings together a cast of characters that includes Henry Carr, a British consular official with a penchant for self-aggrandizement. As the story unfolds, we see how a chance encounter between Carr and Joyce leads to a lawsuit over a pair of trousers - a turn of events that sets off a chain reaction of hilarious and unexpected consequences. With its unique blend of humor and historical insight, Travesties is a masterful portrait of what could have been. This new edition features a preface by the author, offering a fresh perspective on this enduring work of theatre.
