Leopoldstadt is a powerful play about history by Sir Tom Stoppard. It was originally directed by Patrick Marber. The powerful story of this play centers around the fictional Merz-Jacobowitz family living in Vienna. Simply put, Leopoldstadt frames the narrative of a Jewish family in Vienna over some 50 years. This play suggests that reclaiming the dignity of our past heartaches is the only way to move forward and awaken from the nightmares of history.
