A Jewish family grows and struggles over the course of nearly 60 years, beginning with their initial assimilation into Viennese culture, negotiating the outbreak of two World Wars through to the aftermath of the Holocaust. Traversing decades of joy and strife, the family strives to maintain their delicate bonds of shared history. Directed by celebrated playwright/director Carey Perloff, in a new arrangement she crafted with Stoppard, the Tony and Olivier Award-winning play Leopoldstadt offers “an intensely personal family drama” (Variety) for the holiday season. 

 

Leopoldstadt is one of Stoppard’s most heartfelt and expansive works” —Arts Fuse

“One of Stoppard’s most powerful of stories.” —METR Mag

“There’s a sureness to Perloff’s handling of Leopoldstadt.” —Boston Globe

“Satisfyingly poignant…a triumphant saga.” —Stage and Cinema

“This theme of lost identity due to circumstance and history is woven throughout the narrative, beautifully underscored by director Carey Perloff.” —WBUR
