About The Real Thing

The Real Thing (1982) by Tom Stoppard is the most emotionally direct of his plays — Henry, a playwright, and his complicated romantic life, asking what 'the real thing' means in love, in art, and in life. The famous cricket bat speech is Stoppard's most direct statement of his aesthetic beliefs. Won the Olivier Award and the Tony Award for Best Play; the original starred Roger Rees and Felicity Kendal.
