  • A passionate drama of love, family and endurance.
    --
    At the beginning of the 20th century, Leopoldstadt was the old, crowded Jewish quarter of Vienna, Austria. But Hermann Merz, a factory owner and baptised Jew now married to Catholic Gretl, has moved up in the world.
    We follow his family’s story across half a century, passing through the convulsions of war, revolution, impoverishment, annexation by Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. A company of 40 actors represent each generation of the family in this epic, but intimate play.
    Filmed live on stage in London’s West End by National Theatre Live, ‘Tom Stoppard’s masterpiece is magnificent’ (Independent) and should not be missed.

    I'm looking forward to seeing this play,as someone who is wanting to know more about my own Jewish cultural history it interests me..also for all those who seem to be offended or worry about the senstivities ..? hhmm not sure about that.This is very familiar and common humour for me as a Jewish person and the cultural conflict there has been for many Jews of various countries in being Jewish whilst being assimilated into a dominant culture that is not..

      It may be screened in cinemas through NT Live as a facility but this was not a National Theatre production. It was created for the West End by lead producer Sonia Friedman and played at London's Wyndham's Theatre for two seasons. So you NT subscription will not be applicable.

      Oh dear, oh dear... Stoppard is deservedly acclaimed for the extraordinary range, sophistication, and humour of his many plays. This opening excerpt from "Leopoldstadt" does, admittedly, feel like a string of cliche Jewishisms - but, actually is just a lightweight ease into their world, and the tone very much changes and darkens through the scenes that follow. See the play, (streamed in cinemas on January 27th, and probably other dates, and NFT Live) then, maybe, review your judgment!

      because it is a play about 4 generations of a Jewish family so will be set across different historical periods...is that OK with you ?!!! old style in the 21st century...why is everything meant to be set in the modern day now.If you don't like the look of it then don't go and see it and maybe find out first what the play is about

    Thought this play was dire, so boring. I liked the first act, but after that not so much. The same actors playing different characters did my head in too. I’m very much into Jewish history but when it kept chopping and changing characters, I lost interest and investment sadly.
