Ooh, a Stoppard at the Old Vic! And it's one of his sharp-edged adultery comedies, which is where the man is at his incisive best.
As if to ram home the point that with Pinter dead, Stoppard is now our greatest living playwright, he's now playing all over the city. What's more, this play contains a play within a play, the H bomb of self-referential devices, which has been badly done to death over the last two or three years. But Stoppard shows how to write it.
