Sam Adams from Shakespeare Theatre Company's production of Leopoldstadt is taking over our Instagram. Follow along here as Adams takes our Instagram followers behind-the-scenes of the acclaimed play.

Leopoldstadt, a weighty and ambitious work by award-winning author Tom Stoppard, is on stage now at the Shakespeare Theatre Company. The modern epic traces a Viennese Jewish family from the zest and promise at the eve of the 20th century, through the devastations of the Great War and the annexation of Austria by the German Reich, to the Holocaust and the tender, broken years after.

Shakespeare Theatre Company has announced the cast and creative team for Tom Stoppard's Leopoldstadt, directed by Carey Perloff. The show is produced in association with The Huntington, where it completed a record-setting run earlier this month, ending up as one of the top five highest-grossing shows in the theatre's history.

Czech-born British playwright and screenwriter Tom Stoppard, 87, was the child of non-observant Jews whose family fled Czechoslovakia during World War II, just prior to Nazi occupation. Stoppard then spent much of his young life in India, and then Nottingham and Yorkshire in England, becoming the very essence of an intellectual Englishman.

The new production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is set to open on Broadway this fall, featuring a fresh cast and innovative stage design. Get a sneak peek of what to expect from this iconic show.
