It is Tom Stoppard's very special skill as the master comedian of
ideas in the modern theater to create brilliant, biting humor out
of serious concerns. Virtually assaulting the audience with a
cascade of words and a conspicuous display of intellect, Stoppard,
in Every Good Boy Deserves Favor, contrasts the circumstances of a
political prisoner and a mental patient in a Soviet insane asylum,
to question the difference, if any, between free will and the
freedom to conform. The situation, in which the mental patient
hears an orchestra, is both chilling and funny as we are introduced
to two men who happen to share the same name, are in carcerated in
the same cell, and are attended by the same doctor.
