«Hapgood» is the play by Tom Stoppard, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (96 pages, in English).
When physicist Kerner's research is leaked to Moscow, Hapgood, a British intelligence agent, must find the double agent. Stoppard weaves quantum physics with double identities: like light, which is a wave or a particle depending on how it is measured, people change depending on how they are questioned.
The play was originally published in 1988; this Faber & Faber edition is from February 1995.
For readers of contemporary theatre and fans of Tom Stoppard interested in espionage and science.
Sir Tom Stoppard was a British playwright and screenwriter. He wrote for film, radio, stage, and television, finding prominence with plays.

Stoppard, a playwright of the Royal National Theatre, was one of the most internationally performed dramatists of his generation and was critically compared with William Shakespeare and George Bernard Shaw. He was knighted for his contribution to theatre in 1997 and awarded the Order of Merit in 2000.
