Travesties

I saw Travesties by Tom Stoppard yesterday at the Seattle Public Threater. It was good fun; I recommend it. I was worried that references to Ulysses would be a little too erudite for myself to handle, but the play turns out to be heavily based on The Importance of Being Ernest and is therefore far more accessible. I suppose this is meant to parallel with Joyce's recanting of the Odyssey in a deeper way than I could grasp; I'll have to revisit the play when I finally make my way through both the Odyssey and Ulysses.
