The collection of these performances reveals, in combination, the 'frivolous' and 'serious' aspects of Tom Stoppard's talent: the sense of play, the sense of theater, the sense of the absurd, as well as his talents for parody and satire.
The author completes his brief introduction, providing the genesis of each work, with the comment: 'The role of theater is very debatable (by almost no one, of course), but what defines it is, first and foremost, entertainment. That seems satisfactory'.
The work that opens the collection is The Real Inspector Hound, the ultimate countryside thriller. Dirty Linen features a farce by Wailhol set in a Parliament scene. Dogg's Hamlet, Cahoot's Macbeth undermines Shakespeare, while After Magritte explains the inexplicable.
