On Christmas Eve, a hit-man enters a church to confess his sins to a priest.

The play's setting is primarily Zürich , Switzerland during the First World War. Three important personalities were living in Zürich at that time: the modernist author James Joyce , the communist revolutionary Lenin , and the founder of Dada , Tristan Tzara . In the play the less notable English consular official Henry Carr, who is likewise a real person and was similarly in Zürich, recalls his perceptions and his experiences with these influential figures. As he reminisces Carr's memory becomes prone to distraction, and instead of predictable historical biography these characters are interpreted through the maze of his mind. Carr's memories are couched in a Zürich production of Oscar Wilde 's play The Importance of Being Earnest in which he had a starring role. Stoppard uses this production and Carr's mixed feelings surrounding it as a framework to explore art, the war and revolution. Situations from Earnest feature prominently within the action. The characters in Travesties also include versions of two from Earnest , Gwendolen and Cecily, and the comedic situations of many of the other roles are shared by other characters. Stoppard uses many theatrical devices within the play, including puns , limericks , and an extended parody of the vaudeville song " Mister Gallagher and Mister Shean ". The real Carr did play Algernon with a group of actors called The English Players, for whom the real James Joyce was the business manager. Carr and Joyce had an angry disagreement after the play, which led to legal action and accusations of slander by Joyce. The dispute was settled with the judge deciding in favour of both disputants on different counts. Joyce later parodied Carr, and the English Consul General in Zürich at that time, A. Percy Bennett, as two minor characters in Ulysses , with Carr being portrayed as a drunken, obscene soldier in the "Circe" episode. After the first performance of Travesties Stoppard received a letter from the real Henry Carr's widow, expressing her surprise that her late husband had found himself imagined as a character in Stoppard's play.

other title: 最后的粉红豹 / 暗黑粉红豹(CINEMAX ASIA译)
英国Sky Atlantic和法国Canal Plus宣布第二次合作拍摄国际罪案剧集——六集惊悚剧《最后的粉红豹》。故事根据臭名昭著的巴尔干半岛珠宝盗窃团伙「粉红豹」(Pink Panthers)的真实事件改编。他们由前塞尔维亚士兵及一群黑山人、波斯尼亚人组成,在欧洲和亚洲多国作案。他们专门袭击奢侈品商店、珠宝店、酒店和银行,还从事军火走私和贩毒等犯罪活动。在短短六年时间内,他们在阿联酋、瑞士、日本、法国、列支敦士登、德国、卢森堡、西班牙、摩纳哥等20多个国家袭击了超过120家商店和银行。人们普遍认为2013年7月发生在法国加纳卡尔顿酒店和2008年12月发生在巴黎哈利-温斯顿珠宝店的重大失窃案都是他们所为(加纳卡尔顿酒店失窃案丢失物品总价高达1.36亿美元,哈利-温斯顿珠宝店失窃案丢失珠宝总价高达8000万欧元)。「粉红豹」成员胆大心细,每次作案前都会准备天衣无缝的计划,让各国执法机构都感到束手无策。根据国际刑警组织的评估,「粉红豹」组织内至少有数百名成员。时至今日,该组织仍然十分神秘,多名被执法机构捕获的「粉红豹」成员要么成功越狱,要么被大胆的同伙用武力从监狱中救走。 因为无法掌握「粉红豹」这个庞大组织的全貌,因此本剧将以一起钻石劫案作为切入点,深入剖析欧洲目前被黑帮匪徒和流氓银行家联手控制的黑暗事实。Samantha Morton扮演追赃者Naomi,负责追回被劫走的那批钻石——无论要付出多大的代价。John Hurt扮演Naomi的老板、为人恶毒的Tom。Tahar Rahim扮演同样在追踪这批被劫钻石的警官Khalil,他是法国与阿尔及利亚的混血儿。Goran Bogdan、Igor Bencina、Yann Ebonge、Kobna Holdbrook-Smith、Moussa Maaskri、Adama Niane、Chloe Pirrie、Farida Rahouadj和Joseph Mawle参与演出。该剧在伦敦、马赛、贝尔格莱德和黑山等地拍摄,正式播出时会准备三种语言:英语、法语和塞尔维亚语,最早播出的是法语版(10月26日),随后是英语版(11月12日)。
