Tell me a bio of Tom Stoppard.
Tom Stoppard (born Tomáš Straussler, July 3, 1937) is a Czech-born British playwright, screenwriter, and poet. He is considered one of the most influential and prominent figures in contemporary English-language theatre and film.

Born in Zlín, Czechoslovakia, Stoppard and his family were forced to flee the country in 1939 due to the impending invasion by Nazi Germany. They settled in England, where Stoppard grew up and received his education. He attended the University of Manchester, where he studied English literature, and later the Central School of Speech and Drama in London.

Stoppard's career in theatre began in the late 1950s, and he quickly gained recognition for his innovative and intellectually challenging plays. His early works, such as "A Walk on the Waterfront" (1958) and "Enter a Free Man" (1962), were influenced by the absurdist theatre of Samuel Beckett and Eugène Ionesco.

Stoppard's breakthrough play was "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" (1966), which reimagines the characters from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" as the central figures in their own story. The play was a critical and commercial success, and established Stoppard as a major talent in the theatre world.

Stoppard's other notable plays include "Jumpers" (1972), "Travesties" (1974), "The Real Thing" (1982), and "Arcadia" (1993). His works often explore complex themes such as language, identity, morality, and the nature of reality.

In addition to his work in theatre, Stoppard has also written screenplays for films such as "Brazil" (1985), "Empire of the Sun" (1987), and "Shakespeare in Love" (1998), for which he won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Stoppard has received numerous awards and honors throughout his career, including two Tony Awards, three Olivier Awards, and a knighthood in the 1997 New Year Honours. He was also awarded the prestigious Praemium Imperiale for Theatre/Film in 2006.

Stoppard continues to write and work in theatre and film, and his plays and screenplays continue to be performed and adapted around the world. His influence on contemporary literature and theatre is significant, and his works continue to be studied and celebrated by scholars and audiences alike.
