Travesties - 2018 Broadway History , Info & More
Todd Haimes Theatre (Broadway)
229 W. 42nd St. New York, NY
Now nominated for FOUR TONY AWARDS including Best Revival of a Play, Best Actor in a Play (Tom Hollander), Best Director of a Play (Patrick Marber) and Best Sound Design of a Play (Adam Cork).
Roundabout's dazzling new production of Travesties, Tom Stoppard's Tony Award-winning Best Play, has arrived - and The New York Times says it's "ridiculously entertaining." An artist, a writer and a revolutionary collide in this "giddy, head-spinning triumph" (Entertainment Weekly), a kaleidoscopic thrill-ride through the worlds of art and revolution in 1917 Switzerland...and in the maze of one man's memory.
This "knock-the-wind-out-of-you magnificent revival" (New York Magazine) is "an uproarious work of art, impeccably directed by Patrick Marber" (Newsday). 2017 Olivier nominee Tom Hollander leads the cast, and he is "marvelous" (Time Out New York).
Travesties. New York Stage Review says it's "possibly the only perfect production now occupying a Broadway theater. Get there fast."

‘Travesties’ Broadway Review: Tom Stoppard’s Brainy Comedy Finds Its Heart
8 / 10
Tom Stoppard's Tony-winning 1974 play Travesties, stuffed thick as a English gentleman's armchair, its ideas on art, war, patriotism and purposeful nonsense fashioned into a nonstop tourney of wit and erudition, has often been called a brainteaser, but brain tickler comes so much closer to the jubilant staging presented by Broadway's Roundabout Theatre Company.
BWW Review: Tom Stoppard's TRAVESTIES or A Novelist, A Communist and A Dadaist Walk Into A Library
8 / 10
Don't expect anything resembling a linear plot inTravesties, which also features Carr's erudite butler (Patrick Kerr), Lenin's harried wife (Opal Alladin) and a giddy pair of ladies named for Wilde's characters Gwendolenand Cecily (Scarlett Strallen and Sara Topham), but a merrily disjointed mix of political, social and artistic commentary flavored with verbal dexterity and tuneful music hall exuberance. If brevity is the soul of wit, then 75 minutes without an intermission might be the soul of absurdist theatre, so at two and a half hours the madness of Travesties can get a little maddening. But stay alert and the charming company will guide you through an evening that can tickle your intellect as well as your funny bone.

The most honorable of the honorable mentions in 2018's Tony race will likely turn out to be Travesties, Tom Stoppard's 1974 tragifarce which took top Tony honors for Best Play and Best Actor (John Wood) in 1976 and is now putting up a game bid for Best Revival, Best Actor (Tom Hollander) and Best Director (Patrick Marber).

Czech-born British dramatist Tom Stoppard, whose densely intellectual plays may be the most potent argument known for America's need to step up its public education funding, was first noticed on these Atlantic shores in the 1960s for shining a spotlight on two minor Shakespearean characters in ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD.
