At long last, Tom Stoppard’s newest play “Leopoldstadt” is making its entrance on Broadway. In a new interview, @andydickson talks to the playwright about the multi-generational story. https://t.co/ShFY1VXDkC

Wasn't expecting such an emotional gut punch from LEOPOLDSTADT, Tom Stoppard's semi-autobiographical portrait of a family of Austrian Jews before and after the Holocaust, opening tonight on Broadway. The standout of a very fine ensemble is Brandon Uranowitz, just heartbreaking https://t.co/bFLMCLNUaU

Praise for this book
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play
Winner of the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Foreign Play
"Polished to a burnished sheen by the director Patrick Marber . . . Feels like an act of personal reckoning for its creator--with who he is and what he comes from . . . A group portrait, and one of uncommon density . . . Stoppard's most topical play . . . Here, recollection is a laser, a tool to be focused on a past teeming with harsh and essential lessons for the present."--Ben Brantley, New York Times (Critic's Pick)
"A story of devotion wrapped in doom . . . Through his gallery of characters, Stoppard refracts something searingly vivid about the indelible truth of one's roots, about the erasures time and circumstances and neglect impose on memory, about the guilt that attends the survival of a genocide . . . Stoppard's words contribute another poetic verse to a long and tragic elegy."--Peter Marks, Washington Post"[A] great and powerful production."--Chloe Schama, Vogue"Breathtaking . . . A play that asks what we owe our own imperfect memories . . . An epic, formatively brilliant work."--Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune"A moving, humane tale."--Christian Holub, Entertainment Weekly"Simultaneously sprawling and intimate."--Michael Musto, The Village Voice"A lasting gift of remembrance in the brilliant, gorgeous, and devastating new play Leopoldstadt . . . Full of digressions and discussions and dialogue as funny as it is poignant."--Greg Evans, Deadline
"The fulfillment of a lifetime's theatrical journey."--Michael Billington, Guardian
"[Stoppard's] most personal work ever, one which uses a slow excavation of his own Jewish history to create an epic family saga, examining--among many other themes--what it means to be Jewish . . . A summation of sorts."--Sarah Crompton, Vogue
"An entirely gripping piece of theater . . . A revelation for those who are unfamiliar with its tragic tale, and it will provide a deepening understanding of the causes and consequences of Jewish hope and nostalgia in the face of the Holocaust for those who are . . . Streaked with melancholy but also with the characteristic Stoppard humor and skepticism."--Daphne Merkin, Air Mail"[Stoppard's] most personal play yet."--Times (UK)
"The news that Tom Stoppard has written a new drama ranks as top-end seismic activity."--Telegraph
