PAÍS DE ORIGEN
Londres, Reino Unido

“Mozart being no longer with us, the best person to go to for a pièce d’occasion is clearly Tom Stoppard. Dirty Linen was written as a lunchtime piece to celebrate the British naturalisation of Ed Berman… of Inter-Action… As it happened, the play proved to have nothing in it about Mr. Berman or his change of nationality, so Mr. Stoppard inserted a second play into it as a kind of cadenza. This piece, entitled New-Found-Land, actually deals with its chosen subject. Dirty Linen eavesdrops on a Select Committee investigating the moral standards of the House of Commons… The proceedings of the Committee are hilariously funny almost without pause from start to finish. Mr. Stoppard uses sundry varieties of comic writing, from the sophisticated to the music hall, and does equally well with all of them”

B. A. Young in the Financial Times

“Puns, paradoxes, misunderstandings and double bluffs pour out like quicksilver… the cumulative effect is of language being sent on a roller-coaster ride”

Michael Billington in the Guardian
