As the son of a Czech Jewish mother who spent nine itinerant years during the late '30s and '40s fleeing Hitler's net and finally found a haven in England, courtesy of her second husband, a British army officer whom she met and married in India in 1945, Stoppard must have learned the art of camouflage early on.
