By: BWW News Desk
Writers' Theatre opens its 2011/12 Season with The Real Thing by Tom Stoppard, directed by Artistic Director Michael Halberstram. The production closes November 20, 2011 at Writers' Theatre, 325 Tudor Court in Glencoe.
A married playwright blurs the line between reality and his dramas on the stage as his personal life unravels before his very eyes. Deeply moving and bitingly funny, Tom Stoppard's razor sharp drama brilliantly examines the complex nature of love, art and reality. Artistic Director Michael Halberstam directs this multi-award winning modern classic. Title: The Real ThingBy: Tom Stoppard
