RIP to the great Tom Stoppard. I've been influenced and inspired by his work ever since I first read "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" in high school. Sad that we will never see a new play or film by him again.

The way into season 2 of THE REHEARSAL is so brilliant and unexpected but yet makes so much sense. I can't stop thinking about it.
