Travesties

March 29–June 17, 2018

{{ subscription.title }}

Roundabout’s dazzling new production of Travesties, Tom Stoppard’s Tony Award-winning Best Play, has arrived—and The New York Times says it’s “ridiculously entertaining.” An artist, a writer and a revolutionary collide in this “giddy, head-spinning triumph” (Entertainment Weekly), a kaleidoscopic thrill-ride through the worlds of art and revolution in 1917 Switzerland…and in the maze of one man’s memory.
