| | Despite its often arcane literary, artistic, philosophical, and theatrical references, "Travesties" works, Boyd believes, for audiences who have limited -- or no -- knowledge about any of the play's characters or the political or artistic movements they represent. | | | In imagining "Travesties" for Williamstown, Boyd and his designers -- Neil Patel, sets; Judith Dolan, costumes; Rui Rita, lights -- went to Stoppard's own sources: Dadaist artists, Oscar Wilde’s "The Importance of Being Earnest," the film “10 Days That Shook the World,” Monty Python. | | | The play shifts in time between World War I Zurich and a later time in which an older Carr is filtering what seem to be disjointed events through the prism of his memory. |

| | Shotgun Players tackle Stoppard's zany wit, as 'Travesties' takes on Wilde, Joyce, dadaism |
| | "Travesties" wouldn't be Stoppard's last play to deal with revolution and commitment -- in art, politics and life -- or with Russian socialism in particular. | | | "Travesties" has been justly celebrated as one of Stoppard's wittier and most ingeniously constructed comedies since its debut in 1974, though it hasn't been seen much here since it was an American Conservatory Theater hit a few years later. | | | That makes the Shotgun "Travesties" something of a challenge to ACT, which has staged just about every Stoppard play since "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" -- including the American premieres of "Indian Ink" and "The Invention of Love." If ACT can't, or won't, bring us "Utopia," who will? |

| | Travesties, a CurtainUp review |
| | This being a Stoppard play, it should come as no surprise, that the playwright also casts Joyce in his play -- along with Lenin and the DaDa artist Tristan Tzara. | | | In Travesties his pivotal character is based on a rather insignificant real person who ends up as a minor character in a major novel, James Joyce's Ulysses. | | | In Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Tom Stoppard borrowed two minor characters from Hamlet to play the major roles in his own ironic take on what's center stage and what isn't. |
