Theatre Hopkins will close its 84th season with Tom Stoppard's 'Travesties,' which begins its two-weekend run in the Mattin Center's Swirnow Theater, Homewood campus, on Friday, June 16, and runs through Sunday, June 25. The author of 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead' has again drawn inspiration from a masterpiece, Oscar Wilde's 'The Importance of Being Earnest.' In this case, the fast-paced comedy, set in Zurich in 1917, includes in its cast of characters James Joyce, Vladimir Lenin and Tristan Tzara, a member of the Dadaist movement.
