About this book
"Hapgood" is a play by Tom Stoppard that intertwines elements of espionage, identity, and personal relationships within the context of British intelligence. The story opens in a London swimming pool's changing room, where Elizabeth Hapgood, a British intelligence officer, navigates a web of intrigue involving Russian agents and double agents, including Joseph Kerner, a Russian-born physicist. As the narrative unfolds, themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the complexities of personal connections emerge, particularly through Hapgood's relationships with her son and the men in her life.
