The play begins with Max and Charlotte, a couple whose marriage seems about to rupture. But nothing one sees on a stage is the real thing, and some things are less real than others. Charlotte is an actress who has been appearing in a play about marriage by her husband, Henry. Max, her leading man, is also married to an actress, Annie. Both marriages are at the point of rupture because Henry and Annie have fallen in love. But is it the real thing? In "The Real Thing," Tom Stoppard combines his characteristically brilliant wordplay and wit with flashes of insight that illuminate the nature--and the mystery--of love, creating a multi-toned play that challenges the mind while searching out the innermost secrets of the heart.

1982. Loving and being loved is unliterary,it's happiness expressed in banality and lust/There're no commitments only bargains/He wants to punish me with his pain but I cant come up with the proper guilts/Gallons of ink and miles of typewriter ribbon expended on the misery of the unrequited lover;not a word about the utter tedium of the unrequiting
评分"Carnal knowledge. It’s what lovers trust each other with. Knowledge of each other, not of the flesh but through the flesh, knowledge of self, the real him, the real her, in extremis, the mask slipped from the face."
评分很合我口味的知识分子写作。聪明，刻薄，幽默，结构对称，隐喻丰富，用连篇金句嵌套出了几出精彩的戏中戏。但后半部分过于拖沓，情节似乎也缺乏锚点，不少富有意味的片段都轻巧地滑过，比Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf一类的不朽经典还是差了些。
评分【201840】
评分"Exclusive rights isn't love, it's colonisation." Henry逞强看得有一点点心疼
