Jumpers
Book • 1972
Jumpers is a complex theatrical work that combines farce, mystery, and philosophical debate.
The play centers on George Moore, a moral philosophy professor, whose wife Dotty becomes the prime suspect in the murder of Duncan McFee, a rival philosopher and member of the Jumpers—an acrobatic troupe of university professors.
As Inspector Bones investigates the crime, George attempts to compose a lecture on the existence of God and moral absolutes while navigating his wife's apparent mental breakdown, her affair with the Vice Chancellor Sir Archie, and a series of absurd events including astronauts fighting on the moon.
The play masterfully interweaves philosophical discourse with comedic chaos, exploring questions of morality, relativism, and the nature of reality.
