Leopoldstadt at Huntington Avenue Theatre

Leopoldstadt

Playwright Tom Stoppard's most personal work to date, Leopoldstadt is a look at the titular old Jewish Quarter in 1900s Vienna, after an influx of population after the Emperor, Franz Joseph, permitted the Jews in his country full civil rights a generation before. Following one family over four generations, it is a deeply poignant and important projection of the Jewish experience in the 20th century.
