The Real Thing

By Tom Stoppard

Directed By Bruce Burgun

The intricate, expressive, and explosive language of British playwright Tom Stoppard returns to the Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center stage with this Tony Award-winning comedy. The Real Thing unites Stoppard’s trademark linguistic acrobatics with a deeply moving story of love, marriage, and infidelity. Two couples – playwright Henry and his actress wife Charlotte, actress Annie and her husband Max – watch their marriages collapse and their spouses realign. As Henry grapples to portray the truth of love on the stage, all four characters continue on their quest to find “the real thing.”

“Stoppard brings head and heart,life and art together in anexhilarating way.” ----San Francisco Chronicle
