Comedy
Tom Stoppard, from an original play by Ferenc Molnar
Characters: 5 male, 1 female
The co authors, the composer and most of the cast of a comedy
destined for Broadway are simultaneously trying to finish and
rehearse the play while crossing the Atlantic on an ocean liner.
Tom Stoppard's hilarious play has been freely adapted from Ferenc
Molnar's classic farce Jatek a Kastelyban.
"Adaptation in Stoppard's terms means finding a sympathetic text
and using it as a springboard for invention that leaves the
original far behind this time, Stoppard has found a totally
compatible source, matching his temperament at every point, except
in irrepressible high spirits around a] slender central device, he
weaves an increasingly amazing pattern of verbal misunderstandings,
eccentric character development, showbiz spectacle, and seagoing
hazards, all of which come to occupy equal importance in the plot."
