About this title

Review:

"Dalliance""It is easy to see where Tom Stoppard's nimble with has sewn sequins on the already glittering fabric of the original. . .this is one of the most enjoyable plays in London." --Francis King, "Sunday Telegraph" "Undiscovered Country""It's a marvellous play because it pinpoints decadence with wit and irony (and Stoppard's version if full of verbal felicity) and because it creates a hero who is vain, absurd and yet palpably tormented." --John Barber, "Daily Telegraph"
