Cat's Cradle

Not a direct reference to Vonnegut (although Kendall may shed light). 

Tom Stoppard's new play in the West End recalls the fates of an Austrian Jewish family over several generations. 

Leopoldstadt has received contrasting reviews, from "too many characters with not enough depth" to "Stoppard has too much to say".

Maybe that's the point. Stoppard's fictional family is defined by the weight of history rather than their personalities.

I'd love to see it but maybe not this time around.
