Tom Hollander on the Kaleidoscopic Thrill of 'Travesties'

Midday on WNYC | May 9, 2018

Tom Hollander discusses starring in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of Tom Stoppard’s Travesties, in association with Chocolate Factory Productions and Sonia Friedman Productions. The play is set in 1917 Zurich, where the lives of artist Tristan Tzara, writer James Joyce, and revolutionary Lenin collide for a comical thrill-ride.

Travesties runs through June 17 at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway (227 West 42nd Street).

The segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
