Join fellow OLLI at Duke members for an afternoon at Burning Coal Theatre to experience Tom Stoppard's "Travesties," a dazzling comedy where history, memory, and imagination collide. Set in Zurich during World War I, the play imagines an unlikely meeting of James Joyce, Vladimir Lenin, and Tristan Tzara through the delightfully unreliable memories of a British consular official. Packed with sharp wit, literary references, and playful absurdity, "Travesties" is a fast-paced theatrical adventure that is as thought provoking as it is funny. Whether you're a longtime Stoppard fan or discovering his work for the first time, this unforgettable production promises an evening of laughter, surprises, and spirited conversation.
