Summary
Before he wrote plays, Tom Stoppard worked as a journalist and drama critic. Reporting and reviewing – and, in particular, their ‘moral character’ – have never left him as a subject. Across Stoppard’s career, five of his major plays contain characters who are reporters, critics, or editors. The freedoms and obligations of the press remain one of the major concerns of his work.
