Tom Stoppard

Above, Tom Stoppard in an anecdote (via David Morrissey).

My favourite works of Tom's:

1982 Radio (later TV) Play: The Dog It Was That Died

1985 Movie: Brazil co-authored with Terry Gilliam.

Vale Tom, it was that died.

Sir Tom Stoppard, playwright famed for his wit and depth, dies at 88
The King and Queen pay tribute to a “dear friend who wore his genius lightly”.
