«Jumpers» is Tom Stoppard's play in paperback (78 pages, in English).
The plot follows a philosopher who tries to prove the existence of God in an indifferent universe, while the Jumpers, a team of acrobatic philosophy professors, offer a disturbing gymnastic spectacle. Stoppard combines the parody of the philosophical lecture, the detective thriller and the comedy of manners in a dark and exuberant farce.
Revised edition of the play, originally published in 1972.
For readers of contemporary British theatre and lovers of intellectual and philosophical comedy.
Sir Tom Stoppard was a British playwright and screenwriter. He wrote for film, radio, stage, and television, finding prominence with plays. His work covered the themes of human rights, censorship, and political freedom, often delving into the deeper philosophical bases of society. 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.
