What readers are saying
Readers appreciate the clever humor and unique structure of the play, which features a play within a play and explores the dynamics between critics and the theatre world. Many find it to be a witty satire that both entertains and provokes thought, showcasing Stoppard's signature style. However, some express disappointment regarding the physical condition of the scripts received or the pacing of the play.
Clever and humorous writingUnique play within a playGreat for theatre productionsPacing felt odd at timesSome scripts received in poor condition
Synopsis
The ultimate parody of the stage and literary convention of the country-house mystery.
'It's an object of pure, virtuoso craft and display, as luxuriously self-sufficient as a netsuke or Faberge Easter egg.
But it's as nearly perfect in its kind as a P.G.
Wodehouse plot; tiny, ludicrous and beautiful as an ivory Mickey Mouse...It's time we stopped dismissing comedy as an inferior genre.' Observer
