The play begins with Max and Charlotte, a couple whose marriage seems about to rupture. But nothing one sees on a stage is the real thing, and some things are less real than others. Charlotte is an actress who has been appearing in a play about marriage by her husband, Henry. Max, her leading man, is also married to an actress, Annie. Both marriages are at the point of rupture because Henry and Annie have fallen in love. But is it the real thing? In "The Real Thing," Tom Stoppard combines his characteristically brilliant wordplay and wit with flashes of insight that illuminate the nature--and the mystery--of love, creating a multi-toned play that challenges the mind while searching out the innermost secrets of the heart.

看戏的时候还是太年轻,再读scripts对Stoppard写relationship更佩服得不行,以及我都忘了DID这个梗了
评分很合我口味的知识分子写作。聪明,刻薄,幽默,结构对称,隐喻丰富,用连篇金句嵌套出了几出精彩的戏中戏。但后半部分过于拖沓,情节似乎也缺乏锚点,不少富有意味的片段都轻巧地滑过,比Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf一类的不朽经典还是差了些。
评分I must admit I did not thoroughly enjoy it, but the play was clever (like most of Stoppard’s works) and well-plotted. Beautiful lines from time to time: ‘I believe in mess, tears, pain, self-abasement, loss of self-respect, nakedness’ ‘Only two kinds of presence in the world. There’s you and there’s them.’
评分Ever so elegant. The set-up of the first scene is tremendously clever. On the whole I find the play a lot less inquisitive on politics or philosophy than most of Sir Stoppard's other works, but I am ever willing to go on and on about love. (A la Keats: love is my religion.)
评分"Exclusive rights isn't love, it's colonisation." Henry逞强看得有一点点心疼
