What is the story of Leopoldstadt?
Revered playwright and Oscar-winning screenwriter Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love) presents his bold new play, a gripping saga of family love beset by tragedy and circumstance. The story spans more than 50 years of the 20th century, exploring the life of Jewish factory owner Hermann Merz who lives in the Jewish quarter of Vienna, an area known as Leopoldstadt. Hermann's marriage to a Catholic woman, the annexation of Austria and his eventual persecution from Nazi tyranny, form just part of the remarkable tapestry in this arresting production. More than 40 actors take to the stage as we revolve through distinct stages in Hermann's life, filmed live in London's West End.
