Review: THE INVENTION OF LOVE at Hampstead Theatre

By Stuart King Tuesday, December 17 2024, 21:19

English poet A. E. Housman received the inimitable Stoppard treatment, in Sir Tom’s 1997 work THE INVENTION OF LOVE, which is widely considered one of his most profoundly esoteric. Under Richard Eyre’s direction, the original play won awards, transferred from the National to the West End and then went on to Broadway. Here, for Hampstead Theatre’s new iteration, director Blanche McIntyre takes the reins.
