* BilingualBonus: The opening lines of ''Travesties'' may seem like nonsense words, but when you sound them out it becomes a limerick in French introducing the speaker, [[UsefulNotes/{{Dada}} Tristan Tzara]], who actually [[GeniusBonus used this technique of playing with sound and meaning in his own writing/performance]].

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: Throughout the '80s and '90s, a large amount of UsefulNotes/{{Whovians}} believed that Stoppard wrote the ''Series/DoctorWho'' serials [[Recap/DoctorWhoS19E3Kinda "Kinda"]] and [[Recap/DoctorWhoS20E2Snakedance "Snakedance"]], owed to their unusually cerebral nature and the fact that the name attached to them, "Christopher Bailey," wasn't credited with much else in the way of TV work, leading people to believe it was a pseudonym. This was eventually debunked when Bailey turned out to be an actual person, granting interviews in 2002 and 2011.
