At the beginning of the 20th Century, Leopoldstadt was the old, crowded Jewish quarter of Vienna. But Hermann Merz, a manufacturer and baptised Jew married to Catholic Gretl, has moved up in the world. Gathered in the Merz apartment in a fashionable part of the city, Hermann’s extended family are at the heart of Tom Stoppard’s epic yet intimate drama. By the time we have taken leave of them, Austria has passed through the convulsions of war, revolution, impoverishment, annexation by Nazi Germany and – for Austrian Jews – the Holocaust in which 65,000 of them were murdered. It is for the survivors to pass on a story which hasn’t ended yet.
Leopoldstadt received its world premiere on 25th January 2020. As initial casting was announced the run was extended due to public demand and was scheduled to play a 20 week run until 13th June 2020. The final performance before lockdown was 14th March 2020. It is the sixth collaboration between Sonia Friedman Productions and Tom Stoppard.
The creative team for the production includes: set designs by Richard Hudson, with costume designs by Brigitte Reiffenstuel, lighting by Neil Austin, sound and original music by Adam Cork, and movement by EJ Boyle. Casting is by Amy Ball CDG,with children’s casting by Verity Naughton.
Leopoldstadt will play at the Wyndham’s Theatre until the 30th October. To book tickets click here or visit: Love Theatre.com, Theatre Tickets Direct.co.uk, London Theatre Direct, Last Minute.com or From the Box Office.
