Review:
"Contains some of Stoppard's best writing. Nobody in the theater today can match him for a combintaion of sinuous argument, intellectual elan, and sheer coruscating wit. The dialogue has a leaping, athletic energy: excitement of the mind and the heart."
"Refreshingly ambitious in its sweep...It's packed with reflections on idealism and political change that still have clout today."
"Beautiful...The meanings of the play cohere as you watch, not as narrative but as poetry, and keep growing in recollection."
"Intelligent, lucid, eloquent and enlivened by the author's wit and eye for the absurd."
