Remy Bumppo Theatre Company presents…
Artist  Descending  A Staircase
a radio play by Tom Stoppard
Available for streaming April 5 – April 18, 2021
Artist  Descending  A Staircase  is one of Stoppard’s brilliant early radio plays, written in 1972 and a precursor to  Travesties, The Real Thing  and  The Invention of Love.

The story, full of sparkling wit, heart-wrenching romance and modern art, begins with the mysterious death of one of three very old men, all artists and friends since their schooldays. The two elderly survivors hilariously set about examining their emotional and  artistic histories,  descending  backwards in time from 1972 to 1914 and forwards again, tracing their intertwined youthful relationships and unconsciously uncovering the tragedy in their past.
