TOM STOPPARD - GEBRAUCHT ARCADIA (HORS CATALOGU...

Tom Stoppard's masterpiece  with a beautiful new cover.    Comparing what we're looking for
misses the point. It's wanting to know that makes us matter. Otherwise we're going out the way
we came in.    Arcadia premiered at the National Theatre  London  1993  winning the Olivier
Award for Best New Play and the Evening Standard Award for Best Play.  ' It is a laugh-filled
tragedy about what happens if you take the intoxicants of poetry and science seriously. It is a
play where Stoppard turns himself into a clown whose juggling balls are Romanticism  Classicism
and the meaning of life . . . 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. Yes  the characters bond over ideas - but
some of the most interesting people in life do just that. That would be enough to make Arcadia
a masterpiece - but it is even more than that. The play stirs the most basic and profound
questions humans can ask. How should we live with the knowledge that extinction is certain -
not just of ourselves  but of our species?' INDEPENDENT   'I have never left a new play more
convinced that I'd witnessed a masterpiece.' DAILY TELEGRAPH   'A brilliant  brilliant play. A
play of ideas  of consummate theatricality  of sophisticated entertainment and of heartache for
time never to be regained.' SUNDAY TIMES
