The Real Thing
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 through Monday, November 23, 2009

Can a story of love be more real than the love itself, than the real thing?

Length: 2 hrs 0 mins
Intermission: Yes
Seating: General Admission
You choose your seats when you get to the theater.

A love story at its core, The Real Thing emphasizes both 'love' and 'story'. Through the relationship between a playwright (Henry) and actress (Annie), Tom Stoppard explores themes that resonate throughout his work: how we experience love and how we mediate that experience through our stories.

Henry and Annie are lovers and storytellers, lovers of stories.
Henry loves Annie; Henry loves pop music; Henry loves words and writing well. He loves loving well.
Annie loves Henry; Annie loves her cause, a young political prisoner named Brodie; Annie loves telling a love story with Billy, her younger co-star.

Which of these loves is real? Can a story of love be more real than its experience?
