The 2006 Playwright Festival Honoree is Tom Stoppard, the Academy-Award winning screenwriter of Shakespeare in Love , the author of three Tony Award-winning plays, including The Real Thing, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, and Travesties, and is the genius behind such critical and box office successes as The Invention of Love, Arcadia, and the masterful trilogy The Coast of Utopia, winner of two 2007 Tony Awards. Our feature presentation is the winner of the 1984 Tony Award for Best Play and the 2000 Tony Award for Best Revival, The Real Thing . This intellectually and emotionally engaging backstage comedy portrays an articulate and romantically idealistic playwright whose second wife is trying to merge worthy causes with her art as an actress. Making extensive use of the "play within the play," The Real Thing is a tour de force that is at once funny, heartwarming, original, and intelligent. "So packed with wit, ideas and feelings ... Stoppard's most moving play and the most bracing play anyone has written about love and marriage in years." - N.Y. Times. "Shimmering, dazzling theatre, a play of uncommon wit and intelligence which not only thoroughly delights but challenges and illuminates our lives." -WCBS TV. Winner of the 1984 Tony Award for Best Play and the 2000 Tony Award for Best Revival. |
