Zürich, 1917. While poppies bloom across the fields of Europe, the artists, revolutionaries, and exiles of the world converge in pacific Switzerland to engage in conflict of a different kind. Here, three unlikely figures collide: an Irish poet, a Romanian absurdist, and the future leader of the Soviet Union. Henry Carr knew them all – or so he claims. Through the fractured memories of a minor British official, Tom Stoppard’s Travesties turns history into a dazzling parody of The Importance of Being Earnest. Hilarious, anarchic, and startlingly relevant, this modern classic asks what purpose art serves in a world at war. As urgent today as when it was written, Travesties is a riotous comedy of ideas for an age of uncertainty.
