I had heard about this play--which follows a few characters through 25(ish) years of history, centered around political resistance and social change in Czechoslovakia--and thought it'd be good (it's Stoppard).

    <body><![CDATA[Bought this in London last summer after seeing the play, which was complex, funny, sad and amazing. For me, it came down to the heartbreak of the possibility that your heroes aren't what they seem, and the crushing realization that your loyalties/ideals/dreams may have been misplaced all along.   ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I like Tom Stoppard but I really couldn't get into this.  I borrowed it from my coworker who is a regular theater goer and he thought this play was great.
