This play is not just a comedy. It is a profound, yet charmingly ironic story about the dreams we consider part of reality in order to give meaning to our lives. The father is an "inventor" with great faith in his own genius, the daughter a believer in true love and the mother a believer that a clean house means control over life.
In the play, these three characters try to cope with their illusions and failures by returning to the embrace of their family - a place where everything starts all over again.
Tom Stoppard is one of the most celebrated contemporary playwrights, who has also written film scripts and is known for his unique, paradoxical plots. His work engages and makes us think about our own dreams and goals.
