Description Tom Stoppard's new version of his 20-year-old adaptation of the 1842 Johann Nestroy play Ein Jux Will Er Sich Machen (He's Out To Have A Fling), re-set in the 1890s, revels in puns, spoonerisms, malapropisms and double entendre as it swirls three romantic entanglement plots through a bedazzling Viennese waltz-time chase.
