Michaelmas Week 5

Two one-act comedies by the British playwright Tom Stoppard (who wrote the screenplay for Shakespeare in Love) full of marital infidelity and sweet revenge. Two lesser-known plays, they display Stoppard’s genius for visual comedy and verbal wit. 'Another Moon Called Earth', set in an alternate reality where British Astronauts have succeeded in landing on the moon first, incorporates death, mysterious illness and philosophical endeavour while 'Teeth' demonstrates that affairs with the dentist's wife are bound to lead to trouble – “All round him there are smiles like broken-down brooms.”
