Tom Stoppard on his new play, Leopoldstadt

“In a scene that takes place in 1955,” says the great playwright, perhaps our greatest, now 85 years old, “the young Englishman says to the Jewish man, ‘It can’t happen again.’ It’s almost a foolish remark now. Whereas when the play was being written, I didn’t think of it as being a foolish remark.”
