Theater: Stoppard in the Name of Love

(4 of 4)

O.K.? It is no such thing. At the very least, it puts on display real, articulate people whose company one mightily enjoys sharing. It proclaims Jeremy Irons as one of the finest young actors. It refines a dishwater dilemma, accommodating one's ideals to one's spouse, into a sparkling tonic. It marks the return of radiance —verbal, intellectual, emotional, theatrical — to a Broadway too long in the dark.

And it is the best cricket bat anyone has written in years. — By Richard Corliss.
