The name of the living classic of English drama, Tom Stoppard (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Arcadia) has also become a clear sign of quality in Estonian theatre. His plays are associated with a completely original, distorted English treatment of life – there is a place for intellectual guessing games, black humour, metaphysics, endless hints and citations. His play, Jumpers, which belongs to his first creative period and is being staged in Estonia for the first time, is one of the most puzzling plays by this puzzling author. It has been called a philosophical murder mystery à la Umberto Eco.
Presented with one interval. The premiere on 16 February 2007 in the Grand Building of the Vanemuine. Production gallery:
