At the beginning of the 20th century, Leopoldstadt was the old, crowded Jewish quarter of Vienna, Austria. But Hermann Merz, a factory owner and baptised Jew now married to Catholic Gretl, has moved up in the world. We follow his family’s story across half a century, passing through the convulsions of war, revolution, impoverishment, annexation by Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. Tom Stoppard’s Olivier Award and Tony award-winning new play Leopoldstadt is a passionate drama of love, family and endurance, featuring a company of 40 actors representing each generation of the family. Filmed live at Wyndham's Theatre in 2020.
