Hermann Merz's family celebrates both Catholic Christmas and Jewish Passover. A baptized Jew married to a Catholic, an Austrian citizen, and a successful businessman, he is the life and soul of this boisterous, close-knit, and happy family.
We meet him on Christmas Eve 1899, when everyone is full of energy and plans, and Vienna is the center of Europe's vibrant intellectual and social life. Along with these life-loving, sincerely loving, thoughtful, and sometimes incredibly naive characters, we will experience the milestones of recent history—the First and Second World Wars, the Anschluss, the Holocaust, and the bitter sobriety of the first post-war years. Until recently, this family saga, masterfully crafted into dramatic form, was read in the past tense, a complete portrait of the short twentieth century. Today, this play by Tom Stoppard, arguably one of the most significant contemporary playwrights, speaks to each of us about our future and the future of the world we know.
