Tom Stoppard turns to his activism and his friendship with Vaclav Havel.

Since 1964, he's been writing for the theatre, big screen, TV and radio. His plays are among the most studied of the last century.

Among the giants of British theatre - in Hermione Lee's evocative and immersive biography, we come to know the man and his work.
