Love, marriage, fidelity—what’s the real thing? In this play of marital maneuvering, Britain’s preeminent playwright explores the mysteries of love, commitment, and authenticity.

“A funny, caustic examination of infidelity” —The Guardian

“A play which reminds you why you go to the theatre and why you fall in love" —The Spectator

“Not only Mr. Stoppard’s most moving play, but also the most bracing play that anyone has written about love and marriage in years” —The New York Times
