London National Theatre
Leopoldstadt
By Tom Stoppard
Thursday, November 10, 2022
​
Run time: 140 minutes (no interval)
​
Regarded as 'Britain's greatest living playwright' (Times), Tom Stoppard's critically acclaimed new play Leopoldstadt is a passionate drama of love, family, and endurance.
​
Directed by Patrick Marber, Stoppard's fellow dramatist and, it can now be said, Jew, the play is epic in size and scope with a cast of nearly 40. Rather than setting it in Czechoslovakia, the country of Stoppard's birth, the action takes place almost entirely in a single Viennese apartment and spans 55 years.

Leopoldstadt
At the beginning of the 20th century, Leopoldstadt was the old, crowded Jewish quarter of Vienna, Austria.
But Hermann Merz, a factory owner and baptised Jew now married to Catholic Gretl, has moved up in the world.
We follow his family’s story across half a century, passing through the convulsions of war, revolution, impoverishment, annexation by Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. A company of 40 actors represent each generation of the family in this epic, but intimate play.
​
Filmed live on stage in London’s West End, ‘Tom Stoppard’s masterpiece is magnificent’ (Independent) and should not be missed.
​
A production from Sonia Friedman Productions.
