What's Jumpers About?

At a party thrown by Dotty Moore, a troupe of acrobats is performing when one of them, Professor McFee, is shot dead by someone nobody sees. Dotty's husband George, a professor of moral philosophy, is busy writing a lecture trying to define Good, and the murder keeps getting in the way.

The jumpers are the university's philosophers, who double as gymnasts. Stoppard turns academic philosophy into a gymnastics display that keeps going wrong. The Times critic Irving Wardle said it had "more good lines a minute than any other modern comedy".

Who's Jumpers For?

Stoppard fans first: this is the latest of several Stoppard revivals Hampstead has put on in the winter months. It also suits anyone who likes a fast, wordy comedy and doesn't mind a bit of philosophy. Hampstead warns of murder, nudity, sexual references, an animal death and loud noises.
