Gerald N. Wachs, M.D. (1937-2013) was a doctor and dermatologist from Millburn, New Jersey. He worked for Schering Pharmaceuticals for twenty years, before founding and running a dermatology and cosmetic surgery practice in Summit, New Jersey.
His civic commitments and intellectual interests were both broad and deep: Wachs served on the Millburn Board of Education for seven years and was the president of the township’s Board of Health, he was a Life Master in bridge, and a member of the Society for American Baseball Research. Wachs had an intense interest in the humanities. In his retirement he collected books and manuscripts relating to 19th century English poetry.
In 2007, Wachs began a personal correspondence with Tom Stoppard and acquired the playwright’s signature on many editions of his books, screenplays, and ephemera from his plays. Many books and other materials in Wachs’ collection were rare enough that Stoppard said he did not own them himself. In 2012 he co-published a standard bibliography on Stoppard with William Baker. Wachs died on November 8, 2013, in New York, at age 76.
Tom Stoppard was born Tomás Straüssler on 3 July 1937 in Zlín, Czechoslovakia. He spent his early childhood in Singapore and India, before moving to England in 1946 with his mother and stepfather. Educated in Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire, he became a journalist for the Western Daily Press (1954-1958) and the Bristol Evening World (1958-1960). In 1962 he became a theatre critic for Scene magazine in London. He began writing plays for radio and television in the early 1960s.
His first big success came when Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1966. The play came to the attention of Kenneth Tynan, then working for the National Theatre, and it was produced at the National in 1967 and on Broadway in 1967, winning a Tony Award for Best Play (USA) in 1968.
He has written prolifically for television, radio, film and stage, finding prominence with plays such as Arcadia, The Coast of Utopia, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, Professional Foul, and The Real Thing. He co-wrote the screenplays for Brazil, The Russia House, and Shakespeare in Love, and has received one Academy Award and four Tony Awards. Themes of human rights, censorship and political freedom pervade his work along with exploration of linguistics and philosophy. He spoke out on behalf of Czech dissidents, supporting the playwright Vaclav Havel when he was charged with subversion. Professional Foul (1978) was written for Amnesty International's Prisoner of Conscience Year in 1977.
The Dr. Gerald N. Wachs Collection of Tom Stoppard is organized into seven series:
Series I, Correspondence, contains a small collection of correspondence. This includes correspondence between Wachs and Stoppard, cards and letters signed by Stoppard, and correspondence between Wachs and the bookseller Charles Seluzicki. Materials are arranged chronologically.
Series II, Tom Stoppard: A Bibliographical History, contains materials relating to Wachs’ 2010 book. Most of the material in this series consists of web printouts and reference lists. Material is arranged alphabetically by subject heading, with a copy of the book contract at the end of the series.
Series III, Plays, Films, and Radio Productions, contains materials relating to the production of Stoppard plays. This includes playbills and programs, scripts, screenplays, reviews, press releases and ephemera from productions, such as pins and tickets. Most of the reviews are web printouts from productions after 2007, but many of the playbills and programs are from earlier productions. Researchers should refer to Series VI for production posters and some oversized newspaper reviews. Materials span 1967-2013 and are arranged alphabetically by play title.
Series IV, Other Writings, contains non theatrical writing by Stoppard, articles about Stoppard and his plays, interviews, and materials relating to Stoppard’s involvement in the production of two texts - an anthology of A.C.H. Smith’s poetry, and a Writers Guild Foundation publication on comedy. Materials are arranged chronologically.
Series V, Photographs, contains publicity photographs and headshots for productions of Stoppard's plays, as well as photographs of Tom Stoppard. Some photographs in this series are signed by Stoppard or cast members. Materials are arranged alphabetically by play title, with photographs of Stoppard at the end of the series.
Series VI, Oversize contains theatrical and film posters, two LP covers, a signed sketch by Stoppard, and a selection of play reviews. Materials are arranged alphabetically by play title, where possible.
Series VII, Addenda contains material that was added to the collection after the original portion was organized and made available to researchers. It has been arranged into three subseries. Subseries 1, Plays, Films, and Radio Productions, contains review copies and advance reader copies of Stoppard's published works. Materials are arranged alphabetically by play title. Subseries 2, Articles, Interviews, and Reviews, contains complete issues of periodicals including material by or about Tom Stoppard. Materials are arranged chronologically and span 1963-2013. Subseries 3, Audio Recordings, contains commercially released audio recordings of productions of Stoppard's plays and radio productions. Materials are arranged chronologically.
