Hapgood
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hapgood is a play by Tom Stoppard. It is mainly about espionage, focussing on a British female spymaster (Hapgood) and her juggling of career and motherhood. The play also makes reference to quantum mechanics, including Niels Bohr's "The answer is the question interrogated" and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and the topological problem of the Seven Bridges of Königsberg.
In the original production in 1988 Felicity Kendal played Hapgood and Nigel Hawthorne played her friend and superior Blair.
