    “Tom Stoppard, Master Playwright Whose Work Spanned Six Decades, Dies at 88” by Broadway.com’s Beth Stevens - “Stoppard wrote more than 30 plays, building a body of work that blended big ideas with theatricality. His breakthrough Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead was first staged at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1966. It then moved to the National Theatre and later to Broadway, where the comic riff on two minor characters from Hamlet won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1968. ... His plays soon became fixtures on Broadway.

    His work also earned major acclaim in London where he received three Olivier Awards (for Arcadia, Heroes and Leopoldstadt). The Royal Court, the National Theatre and the West End all staged his plays throughout his career and helped build his reputation across the U.K. He was knighted in 1997 and became one of the most honored dramatists in British theater.” https://bway.ly/qr6roa

    “It’s a Homophobic Slur. What’s It Doing in So Much Theater?” by The New York Times’ Erik Piepenburg - “Adam Greenfield, the artistic director of Playwrights Horizons, where “Prince F****t” had its premiere this summer in a Soho Rep co-production, said our relationship to a play starts when we first hear about it. That’s especially true with “Prince F****t.” “Whether it’s distaste or anxiety or intrigue, the title positions you in the play before you know anything about it,” he said.” https://bway.ly/y7sqyo
