The Real Thing
by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Kristin Hughes

“An engaging evening in the theater, one that challenges and respects our intelligence.”
- David Brooks Andrews, Metro West Daily News, November 11, 2009
Henry and Annie are in love – but is it the real thing? Can love last? Can a marriage? In this heartfelt comedy – a Tony winner for Best Play – Tom Stoppard examines the difficulties – and rewards – of finding and sustaining – love and commitment, as well as challenging our very notions about what is ‘real’.
