Remembering Sir Tom Stoppard
Description
In 2014, Colin McEnroe and the playwright and screenwriter Tom Stoppard recorded a live conversation at The Study in New Haven. Stoppard, whom Colin considers “quite possibly the most dizzyingly proficient writer of the English tongue (who) did not grow up speaking English,” has died at the age of 88.
In appreciation of Stoppard and his work, we’re republishing their conversation with a note from Colin.
