Beck Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 dwayner's pissed at our banality, but then again he's curmudgeonly...also, he posted a legitimate series of argulably justifiable ??? about CC.com and how the "serious" climber doesn't waste his time in a site like this...

wayne Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Ok tell me why this Tom Stoppard should be of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayB Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 No idea whatsoever why this guy should be of interest and/or what manner of free association ever led to his appearance on this site, but here's his bio: Â An English dramatist, Tom Stoppard, b. Zlin, Czechoslovakia, July 3, 1937, moved to England with his parents as a young boy and there began a career as a reporter and free-lance journalist. His theatrical career began with the writing of radio and television plays, but his first international success came with the prizewinning Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1966), a retelling of Hamlet through the eyes of two marginal characters. Stoppard's inventiveness has continued through a long series of plays--including The Real Inspector Hound (1968), Travesties (1974), Night and Day (1979), The Real Thing (1982), and In the Native State (1991)--as well as a novel (Lord Malquist and Mr. Moon, 1966), radio and television plays, and screenplays for a number of movies. Â Bibliography: Andretta, R. A., The Plays of Tom Stoppard (1991); Jenkins, A., The Theatre of Tom Stoppard (1987) and, as ed., Critical Essays on Tom Stoppard (1990); Stammels, Neil, Tom Stoppard (1988).

Off_White Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Jay: The connection is that Dwayner kept posting pics of Tom (Sir Tom to you) and adding dialogue, in effect adding an avatar within the auspices of his prime online identity. Stoppard is actually a decent playwright, but he makes a lot of daft portraits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 The Stoppard Trilogy was playing at London National on the South Bank this year. Might still be running if you want to catch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 my guess is the 4th doctor is on too, maybe on late-night on that sci-fi channel. just as good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Roger, Dwayner...CC.com misses your erudition on this site!!! enjoy the wahines and the waves, by the way, how's the Hawaii tuft for bouldering? we hear you've been training for the Ironman ;)your extended stay on the islands this doesn't, by any chance, involve you making boats of straw and groundbreaking new theories in ethnolingustics,does it?
