- W2499291241 abstract "The National Theatre production of Jumpers established Tom Stoppard’s reputation as arguably the most important writer of serious comedy to have emerged in Britain since the Second World War. His next full-length play after Jumpers was Travesties. In it Stoppard seemed to combine the two most striking features of Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead and Jumpers: metadrama and complex philosophical debate. In creating a dialectical play out of the conflicting ideas of Lenin, James Joyce and Tristan Tzara (the eccentric Dada artist), Stoppard at the same time managed to cast two of these famous revolutionary figures as characters in an amateur performance of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest — a performance which did actually take place in Zurich in 1916. By means of the device of filtering actual history through the somewhat unreliable memory of Henry Carr, a minor British consular official in Zurich during the First World War, Stoppard typically set up a double theatrical perspective. From one point of view, all the historical events in Travesties are moments somewhat inaccurately recalled in the form of scenes from a production of Wilde’s well-known farce." @default.
