Hapgood reestreou na Inglaterra. Mesmo que vc não saiba quem é Tom Stoppard vale ler a entrevista no Times, principalmente se vc tiver alguma pretensão literária.
Primeiro, pq é importante saber quem é o Tom Stoppard. Segundo pq Hapgood é uma das poucas peças que não foi aclamada pela crítica na estréia. Terceiro pq há uma discussão interessante sobre quantidade de informação e capacidade de compreensão do público.
Tom Stoppard gets quantum physical - Times Online
Recalling Hapgood now, Stoppard remembers his own gut feeling “that it was too complicated” - which will come as news to those of us who doubted that anything was too complicated for Tom Stoppard. “It's the sheer amount of information I put in,” he says. “I was explaining things to do with physics because I enjoyed them and I wanted the audience to understand them. Only when I trimmed those speeches and stopped trying to make every member of the audience follow every detail did I realise that comprehension can take several forms. In theatre,” he concludes, “an impression of the whole sense is sufficient for the purpose. What I need to do is persuade the audience that I understand something, and therefore they understand something.”
