It’s not often that I see a contemporary play. Actually, come to think of it, I’ve only been to one before, Tom Stoppard’s The Hard Problem, this year at the National.  I’m so busy trying to catch up on some fifty years of not having gone to the theatre that there is now hardly enough time, let alone money, to pay much attention to what is new. It’s also a far more speculative venture. Yet…. it is a bridge that must be crossed.
