Winner of the
Olivier Award and New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play, Arcadia is considered by many critics to be Tom
Stoppard’s masterwork. A stunning literary mystery, this tragi-comedy unfolds within
a grand English country house in two concurrent time periods: 1809, where the Coverly
family is dealing with grouse hunts, sexual infidelity, gothic landscape architecture, a
cuckolded minor poet spoiling for a duel, and a young mathematical genius exploring the
roots of chaos theory as well as the meaning of carnal embrace; and the present day, in
which a couple of headstrong academics with conflicting theories attempt – often with
amusingly off-kilter results – to reconstruct the Coverly saga by picking over the
bric-a-brac of family history. By cross-cutting the two storylines, Stoppard has created
an intricate puzzle of a play filled with scintillating dialogue, sharp wit, and
fascinating characters. |
