Tom Stoppard, Peter Cozzens and the ways that history weighs on the present. I recently had the opportunity to see Tom Stoppard’s thinly fictionalized family history, Leopoldstadt, the story of the rise and fall of a wealthy, cultured, cosmopolitan Viennese family of Jewish descent from 1899 to 1955. The Czech-born playwright, now 85, traces the extended family’s history through a series of harrowing events, including the loss of a son at Verdun, cancer, deaths at Auschwitz and Dachau and in the Blitz, and ultimately a postwar suicide.
