Murder, marriage and metaphysics—the three elements that link the bizarre series of events in Tom Stoppard’s high-spirited comedy, Jumpers . The protagonists include George Moore, an aging professor of moral philosophy whose quest to compose a lecture on ‘Man—Good, Bad or Indifferent’ is put on hold while he ponders the existence of his sock; his youthful wife Dotty, a former musical star on a downward spiral whose charm may explain the corpse in the next room; George’s specially trained hare, Thumper; and a chorus of poorly-trained gymnasts whose exploits set the stage for this topsy-turvy world.

Beeaautiful. About time for a West End revival, no?

Academic vainglory and conspiratorial maneuvers, the solipsistic innocence of the abstract thinker in everyday life, the contrast between lofty ethics and lechery are themes which Stoppard shares with Aristophanes. Much of the abstruse tomfoolery, of the juggleries which made Jumpers memorable on stage does not transfer easily to the printed page.

搞极了的mind game.
