It is Tom Stoppard's very special skill as the master comedian of ideas in the modern theatre to create brilliant, biting humor out of serious concerns. In Every Good Boy Deserves a Favor, Stoppard contrasts the circumstances of a political prisoner and mental patient in a Soviet insane asylum. Professional Foul poses metaphysical problems in dazzling theatrical form in a serious attempt to debate a moral absolute. "Stoppard is the master comedian of ideas in the English language" (Jack Kroll, Newsweek).
