In this hilarious whodunit, playwright Tom Stoppard displays surgeon-like theatrical deftness in this dead-on parody of both the parlor mystery genre and the conventions of theatre critics—not to mention the frustrated aspirations of "second stringers" everywhere. If Shakespeare holds the mirror up to nature, Stoppard's work alternately blurs and illuminates that image, throwing new light on the way we see ourselves as well as the way others see us. "It all fits together with sort of a demented clockwork precision," says British Theatre scholar Russell Taylor—and he ought to know.
