...infrangible toughness of mind. Almost a decade ago, Leider's essay notes, Stella described his ambition- "to combine the abandon and indulgence of Matisse's Dance with the overall strength and sheer formal inspiration of . . . his Moroccans.

Up till now, formulas like these have served Stoppard well--his plays have uniformly been among the most intelligent, enjoyable and effective theater of the last ten years. His new failure--Travesties--currently playing in London doesn...
