Tom Stoppard's play delivers a powerful, intricate meditation on life, scholarship and the after-life in this brilliant play which has writer A.E. Houseman ("A Shropshire Lad") adrift on the River Styx, where he meets his younger Oxford University self, and reflects on a life lived in the shadow of Oscar Wilde. The often erudite dialogue dazzles with wit and humor.  (GBR165, $12.00)
