Stylistic analysis might lead to the identification of the general school or specific maker responsible for "the real thing", or to which the object might be attributed.
To be "the real thing", an object must be made with materials and techniques consistent with the style of the object and the history of materials and techniques associated with the time and place of origin of the object.

 Donmar REAL THING   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The Real Thing may be nearly 20 years old but, aside from its unfashionably uncynical resolution (it ends in the warm glow of true love - the real thing, tried, tested and enduring), it's as fresh as if it had been written yesterday.
The "real" play is almost equally marked by frisky jokes and adroit shifts of perspective; and though Henry may sometimes be struck dumb by love, or reduced to abject pleading, he isn't inarticulate for long.
So is it really the real thing It is still, after all a play, even if it is not the one with which the evening began.

But what Stoppard wants to affirm is that “the real thing”, the fundamentally moral foundation of human experience, exists equally in art as well as life and makes it genuine.

And The Real Thing is the band's most uniform album, less eccentric, but with exquisite songcraft, a fiery mix, and top-flight performances all around.
Anyway, I had read a story somewhere that he had joind FNM and written all the lyrics for The Real Thing within the span of a few weeks, and, if I have one negative thing to say about the album, that would be it...some of the lyrics seem a bit thrown together ("Epic," for example).
The title track is the real jewel of the album, though, clocking it around 8 minutes, building from a quiet whisper of keyboards and drums to a heavy guitar and bass roar and back down...it's quite a ride.

He dissolves himself into the character and the play, and everything he does is converted into expression: the lift of an eyebrow, the shading of a syllable.
In The Real Thing, he carries with effortless spontaneity the many-faceted core of Stoppard's many-layered play, and delivers with marvellously natural eloquence the speeches about good plays and bad (compared to cricket-bats), about the insularity of passion, and about acknowledging the attractions of other people.

 The Real Thing - Tom Stoppard
The Real Thing begins with a short scene in which a man confronts his wife after discovering that she has been unfaithful to him -- a tour de force of clever lines in best Stoppard fashion.
It is not entirely seamless -- the jump across acts is large and arbitrary, Henry and Charlotte's daughter Debbie is squeezed in less than ideally, and the momentum of the piece is hard for actors to carry convincingly through to the end -- but still makes for excellent entertainment.
Stoppard writes for the stage (as opposed to some, more literary playwrights) and The Real Thing is meant to be seen there.
