The most celebrated play to come along in a good long time is to be turned into a limited TV series with top talent. The play is Sir Tom Stoppard’s Leopoldstadt, which had a successful West End run before moving to Broadway last September.
The play, which won the 2020 Olivier Award, is a chronicle of a Jewish family in Vienna over 50 years, from the turn of the 20th Century through the hardship of WWI, through the Nazi scourge of WWII and the Holocaust, and beyond. WWII was devastating to the family, as numerous members were murdered in the Holocaust. Stoppard himself lost all four of his grandparents in concentration camps, and inspired the play, with speculation Leopoldstadt will be Stoppard’s final masterwork. It is a frontrunner to win Best Play of the year at the upcoming Tony Awards skedded for June 11, and received rapturous critical reception and awards so far from the New York Drama League, the Outer Critics Circle, and The New York Drama Critics Circle. It is not unrelentingly downbeat despite the subject matter; it is poignant, sad, funny and incredibly intelligent.
