«Jumpers» is the play by Tom Stoppard, published by Faber & Faber in hardcover (78 pages, in English).
The play satirizes the philosophy conference, the detective thriller, the comedy of manners and the farce. Its core is a philosopher who tries to prove the existence of God before an indifferent universe, while a criminal investigation envelops the characters. Stoppard combines verbal humor, intellectual games and stage entanglements.
The play was originally published in 1972; this hardcover edition appeared in 1997 and belongs to the Faber Library series (no. 17).
For fans of British theater and intellectual comedy with a philosophical backdrop.
