The Real Thing (play)

From Freepedia

The Real Thing is a play by Tom Stoppard, first performed in 1982. It examines the nature of love, and makes extensive use of 'play within a play', also known as a metaplay.

The play focuses on the relationship between Henry (a playwright and considered stand-in for Stoppard) and Annie, an actress who is part of a committee to free Brodie, a Scottish soldier imprisoned for burning a memorial wreath during a protest.
