Tom Stoppard:more details and links
A knighted Czech-born British playwright celebrated for his dazzling intellectual wit, linguistic gymnastics, and ability to weave complex philosophy into engaging dramatic narratives.
Stoppard fled the Nazis as a child and eventually settled in England, starting his career as a journalist. He shot to fame with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, which reimagined Hamlet from the perspective of minor characters. His work often explores science, history, and human rights. He has won four Tony Awards and an Academy Award for Shakespeare in Love. In recent years, his play Leopoldstadt addressed his Jewish heritage and the Holocaust, winning widespread acclaim for its emotional depth.
