With Stoppard's passing, Peter and Elisabeth ask: Who are the canonical playwrights of our time?

We wish you a merry podcast with this gift of the two of us, talking about Tom Stoppard's legacy; our recent theatrical experiences and Elisabeth's giving shoutouts to some of her 2025 favorites.

Just the two of us, we can make it if we try…and so we did! Peter and Elisabeth rocked this episode on their own and managed to cover quite a bit of ground. They started off with Peter’s report from his recent trip to the Divine Comedy festival in Krakow, Poland.

Then they remained behind the Iron Curtain for a chat about the recently departed Tom Stoppard (who was born in the former Czechoslovakia, as this podcast’s listeners may know).

Finally, they went over some of their favorite shows of the year, with a focus on Off Broadway productions that may have garnered less press — though Elisabeth’s favorite, “Weer,” was one of the fall’s hits, and here’s a gift link to her profile of its creator, Natalie Palamides.

Thanks to Christian Huygen for our theme music.
