Question

(10[1])A student in this play uses a metaphor involving the noise made by an “out of whack” piano played by a tone-deaf, drunk pianist, which recalls an earlier scene in which a woman complains about the noise made by a piano player in the next room. A character in this play says that (-5[1])“the note in the margin was a joke to make you all mad” in reference to Fermat’s last theorem. (10[4])The non-speaking (10[1])character (10[1])Gus ends (10[1])this play (10[1])by handing a character (10[1])a drawing of the tortoise Plautus (10[7])and a resident (10[1])of Sidley Park. (10[1])In this play, Hannah Jarvis investigates a garden hermit in the present day and Thomasina Coverly is tutored by Septimus Hodge in 1809. For 10 points, name this 1993 play by Tom Stoppard.
