The play begins with Max and Charlotte, a couple whose marriage seems about to rupture. But nothing one sees on a stage is the real thing, and some things are less real than others. Charlotte is an actress who has been appearing in a play about marriage by her husband, Henry. Max, her leading man, is also married to an actress, Annie. Both marriages are at the point of rupture because Henry and Annie have fallen in love. But is it the real thing? In "The Real Thing," Tom Stoppard combines his characteristically brilliant wordplay and wit with flashes of insight that illuminate the nature--and the mystery--of love, creating a multi-toned play that challenges the mind while searching out the innermost secrets of the heart.

1982. Loving and being loved is unliterary,it's happiness expressed in banality and lust/There're no commitments only bargains/He wants to punish me with his pain but I cant come up with the proper guilts/Gallons of ink and miles of typewriter ribbon expended on the misery of the unrequited lover;not a word about the utter tedium of the unrequiting
评分Ever so elegant. The set-up of the first scene is tremendously clever. On the whole I find the play a lot less inquisitive on politics or philosophy than most of Sir Stoppard's other works, but I am ever willing to go on and on about love. (A la Keats: love is my religion.)
评分"Exclusive rights isn't love, it's colonisation." Henry逞强看得有一点点心疼
评分"Carnal knowledge. It’s what lovers trust each other with. Knowledge of each other, not of the flesh but through the flesh, knowledge of self, the real him, the real her, in extremis, the mask slipped from the face."
评分I must admit I did not thoroughly enjoy it, but the play was clever (like most of Stoppard’s works) and well-plotted. Beautiful lines from time to time: ‘I believe in mess, tears, pain, self-abasement, loss of self-respect, nakedness’ ‘Only two kinds of presence in the world. There’s you and there’s them.’
