Writing about betrayal is one thing, living with it is another. After Henry leaves his wife for another woman, he\u2019s confronted with being the cuckold himself. Both dazzlingly clever and emotionally naked, Henry\u2019s search for the \u201cthe real thing\u201d in art and love demonstrates beautifully why both are worth the effort in the end.","content_html":" Tom Stoppard's multiple Tony Award-winning plays, is considered one of his "most popular, enduring and autobiographical plays." A true masterpiece, it is considered by many to be one of the greatest plays ever written, exploring honesty and the nature of love, marriage and commitment. <\/span><\/p>\n\n Recorded in Los Angeles before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center in November 2008.
