Stoppard's epic yet intimate drama centers on Hermann Merz, a manufacturer and baptized Jew married to Catholic Gretl, whose extended family convene at their fashionable apartment on Christmas Day in 1899. Yet by the time the play closes, Austria has passed through the convulsions of war, revolution, impoverishment, annexation by Nazi Germany, and the Holocaust, which stole the lives of 65,000 Austrian Jews alone. From one of today's most acclaimed playwrights, \u003ci\u003eLeopoldstadt\u003c\/i\u003e is a human and heartbreaking drama of literary brilliance, historical verisimilitude, and powerful emotion.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Stoppard\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of such seminal works as \u003ci\u003eRosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJumpers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Real Thing\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eArcadia\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Love\u003c\/i\u003e, and the trilogy \u003ci\u003eThe Coast of Utopia\u003c\/i\u003e.
