By Tom Stoppard Winner of Tony and Olivier Awards for Best Play! “Septimus, what is carnal embrace?”  With this one naïve question, posed by a thirteen year old girl of her math tutor in an English manor house in 1809, a chain of chaotic events is set in motion that reverberates across centuries!  Set in both 1809 and the present in the same room, Tom Stoppard’s brilliant and hilarious play poses serious questions about what we know and how we know it, and even manages to prove the Second Law of Thermodynamics!  “A play of wit, intellect, language, brio, and...emotion.” (Vincent Canby, The New York Times).  Don’t miss the play that has been heralded as “the greatest play of its time!” (Johann Hari, The Guardian UK).
