Newell reveals his lengthy relationship with not only Stoppard's plays but with the man himself, and shares how he cast two halves of a whole; how he chose to respond instinctively to what was happening in rehearsal rather than adhere to an intricate plan; and how he embraced the counterintuitive and seemingly-oxymoronic phrase “joyful requiem.” (PICTURED: Erik Hellman and Nate Burger as Guildenstern and Rosencrantz in the Cour...

She knew it wouldn’t get a long run on Broadway, overshadowed by Tom Stoppard’s Leopoldstadt next door, and few other theatre companies would pick up a three-hour-long family drama with a large cast, heavy Jewish content and a mandate to discuss the many faces of antisemitism.

North Star with Ellin BessnerGo backstage on Tom Stoppard's gripping new Holocaust play, 'Leopoldstadt', with Canadian Broadway star Caissie LevyAs the world prepares to mark the 84th anniversary of Kristallnacht on Nov. 9, a new play on Broadway, Leopoldstadt, is reminding audiences what can happen to Jews when nationalism and antisemitism turn into genocide.
The production is deemed by many to be possibly the last written by legendary British playwright Tom Stoppard, now 85. The script is loosely autobiographical, as Stoppard's family fled Europe before the onset of the Holocaust, and Stoppard himself grew up not knowing about his true Jewish heritage.
While the play debuted in London in 2020, it moved to Broadway in Sept. 2022. Acting...
