Beschreibung

<p><b>Tom Stoppard's masterpiece, with a beautiful new cover. </b><br><br><i>Comparing what we're looking for misses </i><i>the point. It's wanting to know that makes us </i><i>matter. Otherwise we're going out the way </i><i>we came in.</i><br><br><i>Arcadia </i>premiered at the National Theatre, London, 1993, winning the Olivier Award for Best New Play and the <i>Evening Standard</i> Award for Best Play.<br><br>'<b>It is a laugh-filled tragedy about what happens if you take </b><b>the intoxicants of poetry and science seriously.</b> It is a play where Stoppard turns himself into a clown whose juggling balls are Romanticism, Classicism, and the meaning of life . . . <b>The stale cliché about Stoppard is that he is a brilliant manipulator of ideas, but with no heart. Yet here - at the core of his best play - is the greatest love story on the British stage for decades.</b> Yes, the characters bond over ideas - but some of the most interesting people in life do just that. That would be enough to make <i>Arcadia</i> a masterpiece - but it is even more than that. <b>The play stirs the most basic and profound questions humans can ask.</b> How should we live with the knowledge that extinction is certain - not just of ourselves, but of our species?' INDEPENDENT<br><br><b>'I have never left a new play more convinced that I'd </b><b>witnessed a masterpiece.' </b>DAILY TELEGRAPH<br><br><b>'A brilliant, brilliant play. A play of ideas, of consummate </b>theatricality, of sophisticated entertainment and of heartache <b>for time never to be regained.' </b>SUNDAY TIMES</p>
