Tom Stoppard Believes LEOPOLDSTADT May Be His Final Play

According to The Guardian, Sir Tom Stoppard may have written his last play.

Britain's most celebrated living playwright opens Leopoldstadt in London's West End on 12 February. But he believes that this is all for him.

"I am slowing up. This one took longer to write," Stoppard said while being interviewed by John Wilson on BBC Radio 4's Front Row. "And the other thing is, what on earth can you write about after that? When I finished Leopoldstadt I thought, 'I can't go through all that again'. Four years tend to go by between my plays, so I will be 86 or 87 before I write another, and I wondered whether people who are 87 do have plays on. It seemed a bit implausible."
