The Real Thing
Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing is being performed at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and at 2 p.m. Sundays through March 28, at the Long Beach Playhouse.
The Real Thing is about an articulate and romantically idealistic playwright who receives a challenge from his wife: take the inept play of a “political prisoner” named Brodie and rework it into a theatrical triumph. In the process, the writer must show his wife that Brodie is more of a thug than a victim of political repression, all the while challenging his own long-held concepts of love, marriage and fidelity. Tickets for adults are $24, seniors $21 and students $14.
